“Not withstanding the differences of opinion that may exist on certain issues between our organisation and Egypt, we wanted to recall by our presence at these celebrations that Egypt remains the first Arab country to have concluded a peace treaty with Israel,” says Ariel Goldmann.
The Vice President of CRIF told the Ambassador how much CRIF is counting on the key role that Egypt can and must play in obtaining freedom for Gilad Shalit, it is hoped soon.
When Moroccan Crown Prince Sidi Mohammed was crowned King Mohammed VI after his father, Hassan II, died on 23 July 1999, he became the 18th king of the Alaouite dynasty since 1664. On the eve of the 10th anniversary of his accession to the throne, Richard Prasquier, President of CRIF, was received by El Mostafa Sahel, Morocco’s Ambassador to France.
The Moroccan Ambassador reminded his guests that King Mohammed VI is the symbol and guarantor of the common good, and chiefly of national unity, both politically and spiritually. The King, whose title is also Commander of All Believers, is responsible for protecting the religions present in the kingdom. The Ambassador also reminded his guests that the history of Jews in Morocco began as early as the 4th century B.C. and that strong ties bind Moroccan Jews to that land and its people.
