The foreign ministry has said that, "The Kingdom of Morocco strongly condemns the massive Israeli military operations which have claimed, this morning, the lives of dozens of Palestinian brothers in Gaza strip, and strongly condemns the disproportionate use of force and the tragic escalation of violence."
"The Kingdom of Morocco calls for the immediate halt of the hostilities which, beyond the significant loss of life, exposes the region once again to escalation, violence and divisions,"
"In this painful moment, King Mohammed VI, Chairman of Al-Quds Committee offers his heartfelt condolences to the families of the innocent Palestinian victims," said the communiqué.
"The King also calls on the Security Council and the international Quartet to shoulder their responsibilities in order to ensure the halt of violence and the necessary continuation of dialogue and negotiation between all parties concerned."

"GAZA “HOLOCAUST” REQUIRES WAR CRIMES TRIALS
BBC quotes a Palestinian in Gaza: “There are shortages of everything
here from bread to electricity. People just want to live as humans but
have to go without fuel, without being able to heat their homes,
without electricity for 18 hours at a time.”
That was the situation before the attack by Israel. The situation in
the Gaza ghetto, where Israel has kept a concentration of arab,
muslim, palestinians virtually prisoners, never knowing if they will
have any food, medicine, fuel for cooking, electricity,… or if they
will not have anything at all. Can we expect every Gaza Palestinian to
control his or her anger, during years of suffering, held in what
increasingly becomes an Israeli concentration camp ? No. Some have
attempted to express their frustration and anger at Israel, by
retaliating. While Palestinian anger and violent retaliation, using
rockets against Israel, is never right, can it be considered
provoked ? Certainly it has been provoked. Provocation to anger, and
loss of tempers, has occurred. The historical record in Gaza, as to
the suffering of the people there, is enough to show that there has
been continued, consistent, repeated, provication to anger.
Who then is guilty ? The provoked or those who have continually
chosen to provoke them ?
In a civilized world one nation cannot take upon itself the punishing
of a whole population, by violent means, simply because a minority
within that population are alleged to be acting wrongfully. When one
such group does so to another, injuring and killing women, children,
non combatants, indiscriminately, simply because they happen to belong
to a particular ethnic, religious, and national group, then that
nation is conducting the equivalent of a “holocaust”. The world cannot
permit Israel to conduct the equivalent of a “holocaust”. When will
the historical victims of that type of violence learn that they
themselves must never, under any circumstances, victimize others in
any way similarly to the manner than they were victimized. Jewish
people were deprived of the means to life, segregated due to their
Jewish religion, as an ethnic group, wrongfully tortured (traumatized,
wounded) and killed. Now Palestinians, who are arabs according to
ethnicity, and of the muslim religion, who have already been
segregated and substantially deprived, are now being wounded, killed,
and further deprived of the means to life, simply because they are
muslims, arabs, and chance to be living segregated on the border of
Israel. It is not likely that any of the wounded and killed are rocket
firing terrorists. And even if one is, among a hundred casualties, it
cannot be right. Where the practice follows such similar principles,
the victimization, of ten, a hundred, thousands, or millions, is not
the question. The question is the victimization as such, and it must
not be allowed to happen, and it cannot be right, no matter who the
people happen to be, according to religious creed, or ethnicity.
Punishing a whole people, for the wrongs of a few of their numbers,
cannot ever be right. It cannot ever be justified. It cannot ever be
tolerated by humanity, and it must never be tolerated or excused, for
the sake of humanity. Much more so when the people who have acted
wrongfully were provoked.
I recall a Palestinian saying that peace with Israel was, in his
opinion, an impossibility, and that living with Israel was also an
impossibility. I did not really agree with or perhaps understand his
contention on that issue. Surely Israel’s current actions in Gaza are
proving him right, and are proving me wrong, in my naive belief that
peace between arab muslims and Israeli Jews can be realized and is
possible. I was naive, before the Gaza holocaust began. I thought both
sides would and could find common ground, and work together for a
common peace and betterment of the shared human situation. Not so. The
Gaza holocaust has destroyed that possibility. I now cannot see how
that possibility could, or would, ever likely be restored as a real
possibility. Arab muslims will be hunting their jewish attackers, both
those who gave the orders and those who followed the orders, for
generations, in the same way as Jews today still hunt Nazi war
criminals. The Jewish criminals of the Gaza holocaust, will eventually
have to pay the same price as the Nazi holocaust criminals paid after
that era came to an end. Will they not ? Isn’t it the same logic, of
segregate, deprive, attack and murder, women, children, non
combatants, innocents, and isn’t it the same price to be paid ?
There will have to be a war crimes trial after the Gaza holocaust.
Will there not ?
How else can the United Nations, and the world community, possibly
claim any sense of justice in the matter ?
What Israel has now done is create a situation in Gaza from which
those imprisoned there, starved, deprived, segregated, and oppressed
in a climate of constant fear, cannot possibly recover. There are no
ways, no means, for recovery. There is nothing there, in Gaza, to
facilitate proper care for the injured, or to provide means for the
living. They say “the city is dead”, and in fact it means humanity is
dead. Israel is murdering humanity.
