Morocco will push for the resumption of Israeli-Palestinian peace negotiations, King Mohammed VI said Monday, almost a year after his country renewed ties with the Jewish state.

In a televised address, the monarch pledged, "Morocco will continue its efforts, building on its position and its excellent relations with all sides and relevant international actors, to provide the appropriate conditions for a return to the negotiating table."

Last year, Morocco renewed official relations with Israel, two decades after cutting ties upon the outbreak of the second Palestinian intifada in 2000.

The rapprochement came amid a string of normalization deals between Israel and Arab countries.

In a speech delivered on the UN-organized International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, King Mohammed stressed Morocco's "total solidarity with the Palestinian people" and its right to an independent state alongside Israel.

He called for trust-building efforts and urged both sides "to refrain from actions that obstruct the peace process."

The king, who heads the Organization of Islamic Cooperation's Al-Quds Committee, charged with protecting Muslim holy sites in Jerusalem, warned against any attempt to change the city's "juridical, historic and demographic" status.

His speech came days after an unprecedented visit by Defense Minister Benny Gantz, who signed a wide-ranging security pact with the kingdom.

Left-wing and Islamist organizations in Morocco called for protests on Monday to voice their solidarity with the Palestinians.
