The agreement was formalized during a high-level meeting in Rabat between Moroccan officials and representatives of the Gaza Peace Council. Among those present were Nasser Bourita, Morocco’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Abdeltif Loudyi, Minister Delegate for National Defense Administration, alongside Nickolay Mladenov, the UN’s High Representative for Gaza Peace.

Morocco’s participation in the ISF underscores its long-standing dedication to international peacekeeping. The country brings extensive experience from decades of UN-backed missions, reinforcing its role as a stabilizing force in conflict zones. Key contributions will include deploying senior officers from the Royal Armed Forces (FAR), Gendarmerie Royale personnel, and National Security Directorate officers to the ISF joint command.

During discussions, Moroccan officials highlighted the Kingdom’s proactive stance on regional security, emphasizing initiatives led by His Majesty King Mohammed VI that promote integration and social progress across Africa. The delegation also announced plans to establish a field military hospital as part of its humanitarian contribution to Gaza.

Leaders from the Gaza Peace Council and ISF Command praised Morocco’s involvement, calling it a “decisive contribution to peace efforts in the region.” The agreement signed this week outlines technical and operational details, ensuring Morocco’s role aligns with international standards for peacekeeping operations.
