Morocco’s Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita:

The Palestinian question remains a constant priority in the foreign policy of the Kingdom of Morocco, based on its belief that this is a just cause and is central to achieving peace and stability in the Middle East region.

Italy’s Meloni defends proposed restrictions on face coverings in schools:

These are common-sense rules. They are rules that clearly also serve a security purpose.

There is also an issue concerning equal opportunities and women’s rights, which I pride myself on defending.
