Rabat - March 13-2009, Visiting Palestinian University delegation hailed, here Saturday, the decision of King Mohammed VI to personally pay for the reconstruction of the Agronomy faculty of Al Azhar University, based in Beit Hanun, in the Gaza Strip.
Speaking at a press conference, head of the delegation and Deputy Chairman of Al-Azhar university, Youssef Joumaa Salama, lauded the King's decision and expressed gratitude on behalf of the Palestinian people to the sovereign for supporting the Palestinian cause.
The new facility, that will carry the name of the King, was completely destroyed during the Israeli aggression on the Gaza strip, he said.
Salama, who is also the Speaker (Khatib) of Al-Aqsa mosque, praised the brotherly Moroccan-Palestinian relations, underscoring the vanguard role of the Kingdom in defending the city of the Al-Quds.
The Palestinian scholar said that Morocco's initiative to host, earlier this month, a group of Palestinian children has helped to alleviate their sufferings, resulting from the Israeli occupation.
Foreign Minister, Taib Fassi Fihri, and General-Director of Bayt Mal Al-Quds Agency, Abdelkébir Alaoui Mdaghri attended this conference.
