Moroccan FM: Time Not Ripe to Renew Israel Ties
(Jerusalem Post) Calev Ben-David - Israel has the right to live in secure and recognized borders, Moroccan Foreign Minister Taib Fassi Firhi told a delegation of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations in Rabat on Tuesday. But he stopped short of saying Morocco is ready to renew the diplomatic ties with Israel it broke off three years ago. Firhi defended Morocco's decision to participate with 55 other Islamic states in filing briefs to the International Court of Justice in The Hague against Israel's building of the West Bank security fence. "As a member of the Islamic Conference, and with our king's position as head of the Jerusalem Committee, we were obligated to join the debate over the fence," he said.
