His Majesty King Mohammed VI, has received a letter from the Prime Minister of the State of Israel, His Excellency Mr. Benjamin Netanyahu.
In the letter, the Israeli Prime Minister conveyed to His Majesty the King, the decision of the State of Israel to officially recognize “Moroccan sovereignty over the territory of Western Sahara.”
The Israeli Prime Minister emphasized that this position will be reflected in all relevant actions and official documents of the Israeli Government.
Furthermore, he stated that this decision will be communicated to the United Nations, regional and international organizations of which Israel is a member, as well as all countries with whom Israel maintains diplomatic relations.
In the letter to the Sovereign, the Israeli Prime Minister also informed that Israel is positively considering “the establishment of a Consulate in the city of Dakhla” as part of the implementation of this state decision.
The Israeli recognition of Moroccan sovereignty over the Sahara is a significant triumph for the Kingdom, reinforcing international support for its territorial integrity.
Moreover, it strengthens the favorable momentum generated by the Visionary Perspective and the Royal Impulse in recent years, including the recognition by the United States and support for autonomy by over 15 European countries, such as Germany, Spain, the Netherlands, Switzerland, and Austria. Additionally, it encompasses the opening of 28 consulates in the Saharan provinces by various African, Arab, and Latin American countries.
This decision will facilitate and encourage both Israeli and international investments in the Southern Provinces of the Kingdom.
The statement underscores the unwavering support of the esteemed Sovereign for the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people, which he has made a national priority.
