Final declaration supports resistance of Quds

President of the State of Palestine, Mahmoud Abbas said the final declaration which was issued at the end of the 20th meeting of Al-Quds Committee, held in Marrakech on January 17-18, is comprehensive and includes a series of measures to support the resistance of Maqdessis and allow them to stay in their territories. In an interview with Moroccan TV channel Al-Oula before leaving Morocco on Saturday following the closing session of the meeting of Al-Quds Committee, Abbas said the Marrakech declaration “includes more than thirty resolutions that address the suffering (of Mqdessis) and future prospects as we wish them to be.” He said these resolutions are likely to contribute to the resistance of the Palestinians and to strengthen the presence of Maqdessis in their territory, through various forms of support in different areas, adding that the escalation of the Israeli attacks and the proliferation of settlements targeting the holy city and the territories, aims to drive the Palestinians from their lands. Al-Quds Committee, an offshoot of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, is holding its 20th session from January 17 through 18. Foreign ministers of the committee member-states, the OIC secretary general, High-level emissaries representing the UN Security Council permanent member-states, the EU, the Vatican, the UN and the Arab league took part in the Marrakech meeting.
