Jerusalem Status will Fan the Flames of Religious and Ideological conflicts, King Mohammed VI to UNSG
King Mohammed VI of Morocco has addressed a message to the UN Secretary General, Antonio Guterres, warning that any change to Jerusalem status will fan the flames of religious and ideological conflicts.
In his message, King Mohammed VI explained that “Infringement of the internationally recognized legal and historical status of Jerusalem means one runs the risk of hurling the issue into the quagmire of religious and ideological conflict”.
As home of al Aqsa Mosque, the First of the Two Qiblas and the Third Holiest Mosque, the King warned that the holy city is a major concern not only for Palestinians as an occupied land but also and most important for all muslims for the symbol of the holy place and its stand in the religion of Islam. The King added that “the cause of Jerusalem is a just cause for all peace-loving people since the city stands as a symbol for tolerance and inter-faith coexistence”.
Last July, the Moroccan King, in his quality as Chairman of Al Quds Committee of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation – a grouping that comprises 57 countries representing over one billion citizens, had sent a letter to the UN Secretary-General, drawing his attention to the Israeli authorities’ continuing and systematic violations in al-Quds and in al-Aqsa Mosque designed to impose new facts on the ground.
