Morocco has become the first country to provide a financial contribution to Gaza through the Board of Peace, Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita announced on Thursday during his participation in the Board’s inaugural meeting in Washington.
In his address, Bourita stressed that Morocco’s support goes beyond symbolic endorsement, describing it as a comprehensive package of direct assistance. He said the Kingdom’s official financial contribution made Morocco the first nation to fund the Board of Peace’s Gaza-related efforts, underscoring Rabat’s commitment to international initiatives aimed at stabilizing and rebuilding the war-torn enclave.
The minister also confirmed Morocco’s readiness to provide security and training support by deploying Moroccan police officers to train local security personnel in Gaza. In addition, he stated that Moroccan military officers are prepared to join the proposed “International Stabilization Force,” intended to strengthen both military and civilian stability and ensure the safety of residents.
On the humanitarian front, Bourita announced that Morocco will establish a field hospital in Gaza to deliver urgent medical services to civilians affected by the conflict. He said the initiative reflects Morocco’s vision of promoting social peace and addressing crises through concrete humanitarian action.
Bourita emphasized that maintaining stability in Gaza is a crucial step toward safeguarding broader global peace efforts. He highlighted Morocco’s growing role as an influential international actor contributing to security, development, and social reconstruction in the region.
During Thursday’s opening session of the Board of Peace in Washington, Morocco was cited as one of the first five countries to commit troops to a multinational force aimed at preserving security and reinforcing stability in Gaza — a move that further reflects the Kingdom’s proactive engagement in international efforts to support regional peace and reconstruction.
U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday inaugurated in Washington the first meeting of the Board of Peace, which he had called for establishing, stating that the situation in the Gaza Strip is complex and that peace is not an easy task. However, he stressed the Board’s commitment to ensuring good governance in the Palestinian territory.
Trump said the Board of Peace — which he described as one of his administration’s achievements — would mobilize $10 billion in support of Gaza. Of that amount, $7 billion will come from member states of the Board, including Morocco’s contribution as part of the broader relief package. He added that the United Nations Office for Humanitarian Assistance is raising $2 billion to fund humanitarian projects, while FIFA will contribute $75 million to finance football-related initiatives in the enclave. He also noted that China and Russia would take part in reconstruction efforts.
Trump further underscored the importance of multilateral cooperation in achieving stability and rebuilding Gaza, stating that the participation of allied nations in providing funding, training, and logistical support reflects the international community’s commitment to assisting Gaza’s residents and advancing sustainable development.
