00:28a decision in the wake of the recognition by France of Moroccan sovereignty over its Sahara. Details in a few moments.
00:39French President Emmanuel Macron reaffirms support for Moroccan sovereignty over the Sahara,
00:45speech held in front of the Moroccan Parliament as part of his three-day state visit to the Kingdom.
00:50In the Middle East, 93 people were killed in a night Israeli strike on a building in Beit Laria, in the north of the Gaza Strip.
01:00See you right away for the development.
01:06Welcome, ladies and gentlemen. Without further ado, we open this edition with the visit of French President Emmanuel Macron to Morocco.
01:20In the context of the impulse given to the national cause by His Majesty King Mohammed VI,
01:32the official map of the Kingdom of Morocco, including its Sahara, was published on the official website of the Orsay Quay.
01:38This decision comes in the wake of the letter that French President Emmanuel Macron addressed to the sovereign
01:45in which he affirmed that the present and the future of the Sahara are part of the framework of Moroccan sovereignty,
01:51as well as the face-to-face interviews that His Majesty the King had on Monday in Rabat with the French Chief of State.
02:01In this regard, Jean-Noël Barrault, French Minister of Foreign Affairs, confirmed the publication of the website of the Orsay Quay of the official map of Morocco.
02:12Let's listen to him.
02:14And we have joined the acts at the word.
02:17And I have the pleasure to announce to you that the map of Morocco has been updated
02:22and put online on the website of the Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs an hour ago.
02:27Our operators and our companies will support the development of these territories through investments,
02:33sustainable and supportive initiatives for the benefit of local populations.
02:37Our ambassador will go there next week.
02:41We will increase our consular and cultural action there in view of the creation of a French alliance.
02:47Still in the context of his three-day state visit to Morocco,
02:51French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife visited today the Moselle of Mohamed V in Rabat,
02:58where they reclaimed from the tombs of the regretted sovereigns,
03:03King Mohamed V and King Hassan II.
03:08Upon their arrival, the head of the French state and his wife were saluted by the conservator of the Moselle,
03:16Colonel-Major Hassan Sharif Skaly,
03:20before passing in revue a gift of honor from the Royal Guard.
03:29This morning, President Macron also had interviews with the head of the government,
03:34Aziz al-Khanoush, at the Palace of the High Arab Kingdoms.
03:38The head of the French state also received,
03:42still at the Palace of the High Arab Kingdoms,
03:45the President of the House of Representatives, Rashid Talbi Alami,
03:49before meeting with the President of the House of Advisers, Mohamed Oud El Rashid.
03:55It was one of the most anticipated moments of his state visit to Morocco.
04:04President Emmanuel Macron spoke this Tuesday in front of the Moroccan Parliament for France.
04:10The present and future of the Sahara is part of Moroccan sovereignty.
04:17It is one of the strong statements of this morning that Emmanuel Macron held in front of the Parliament.
04:23The French President said that the plan of autonomy constitutes the only basis for achieving a just political solution
04:30and that Paris will implement this position to support Morocco in international affairs.
04:37Here is an excerpt from the speech of the French President.
04:40On behalf of France, I would like to clarify my vision by addressing His Majesty King Mohamed VI on July 30th.
04:49And I reaffirm it here in front of you.
04:52For France, the present and future of this territory is part of Moroccan sovereignty.
05:19The autonomy under Moroccan sovereignty is the framework in which this question must be resolved.
05:41And the autonomy plan of 2007 constitutes the only basis for achieving a just political solution,
05:47sustainable and negotiated in accordance with the resolutions of the United Nations Security Council.
05:52Yes, anchored in history, respectful of realities and promising for the future,
05:58this position is the one that France will implement to support Morocco in international affairs.
06:11And I say it here too, this position is not hostile to anyone.
06:18It allows us to open a new page between us, as with all those who want to act in a framework of regional cooperation,
06:26in the Mediterranean, with the neighbouring countries of Morocco and with the European Union.
06:33And I say it here too, with a lot of strength.
06:36Our operators and businesses will support the development of this territory through investments,
06:51sustainable and solidarity initiatives for the benefit of local populations.
07:02For President Macron, the two countries have today a vocation to lay the foundations of a strengthened partnership of exceptions.
07:11Morocco and France have today a vocation to lay the foundations of a strengthened partnership of exceptions between our two countries
07:19and to propose to the generations of the next 25 years this new lucid book, lucid on the past but turned to the future.
07:32Of course, this must be above all an orderly space, of which each of the partners accepts to be the guarantor, with respect and commitment.
07:41I think of illegal immigration and the need for natural and fluid cooperation in consular matters.
07:48Everyone sees that this question is also a question of mutual trust.
07:52It constitutes, for many French people, an expectation of the strongest.
07:57We need even more results.
08:01I also think of our security partnership, of the fight against trafficking of all kinds, which mines our societies and threatens our states.
08:10The fight against terrorism, which must continue to unify us tirelessly.
08:15The fight against organized crime and, in particular, against drug trafficking, which gangrenes our territories
08:23and requires very close and even faster judicial cooperation.
08:28Yes, together, it is our responsibility to build a controlled space of security and security.
08:38It is also these actions that allow this partnership of exceptions, which would be more open to study, to work for a few days, a few months, a few years,
08:47to weave and maintain links, a space where, on the basis of a clear, ambitious framework, based on our respective rules,
08:55the mobility of women and men, such as that of commodities or capital, can allow ideas, projects and talents to circulate intensely.
09:04It must be an opportunity to give back to the Mediterranean its true vocation of union.
09:13And to do nothing, to imagine nothing, to give oneself for the sole ambition of combating day by day the human flows that exceed us,
09:21would come back to resign us, to suffer our future in a passive position.
09:27This is not the future that I want for France, because France has never been so great that when it dreamed, imagined greater than itself.
09:36And this vision, I know that Morocco shares it with our country.
09:43The French President also mentioned a new strategic framework in the relationship between Morocco and France
09:50to project the bilateral relationship between Paris and Rabat towards the future.
09:56I proposed to His Majesty King Mohammed VI that France and Morocco be linked by a new strategic framework
10:02that could be signed 70 years after the agreement of the Seine-Saint-Cloud
10:09on the occasion of a state visit in France that His Majesty accepted.
10:22With His Majesty, we will soon appoint a parity committee
10:26that will be in charge of submitting proposals in this direction from the first quarter of 2025,
10:32in order to draw the outlines.
10:34The Kingdom of Morocco would thus be the first country outside the European Union with which we would engage so intensely.
10:48And it will be an opportunity to remind that shared values bring us together,
10:52that they invite us to see great and far for the generations to come.
10:55And this agreement will have the vocation to mobilize our institutions, our communities, our youth, our talents
11:02to be the guarantors of the ambition that we assign to ourselves.
11:07It will also allow, by highlighting our solidarity even more,
11:12to further strengthen our voices on the world stage.
11:17Mr Macron has highlighted the relevance of Morocco's policies
11:21on the dissemination of seawater and water highways
11:25to ensure access to clean water and sustainable irrigation,
11:28noting that the Kingdom, already rich in solar farms and wind farms among the largest in Africa,
11:35has set the framework that will soon enable it to become a major player in renewable energy.
11:42I would like to salute your resolute action on the issue of water and adaptation.
11:50I believe that few countries have taken up this challenge with such zeal and innovation.
11:56And we are proud to be one of your partners in this unprecedented policy,
12:03the policy of desalination of your cities,
12:06to face the challenges of agriculture,
12:09such as those of increasingly large cities that need to welcome new inhabitants and more youth.
12:17Access to water, to clean water, to sustainable irrigation is essential.
12:24And Morocco, in this regard, has a lot to learn from the rest of the world.
12:29And this is why I wish that the water highways will be at the heart of the One Water Summit,
12:33which will be organized at the end of the year,
12:35and that we can accompany you on this unprecedented path of adaptation and sovereignty.
12:41In the field of energy, Morocco has unique resources,
12:45a long tradition of large hydroelectric projects that go back to Feu, His Majesty Hassan II.
12:51Already rich in solar farms and wind farms among the largest in Africa,
12:56your country has set the framework that will soon enable it to become a major player in renewable energy.
13:02Whether it is electrons or green hydrogen.
13:06I am convinced that you will not only succeed in decarbonizing your domestic and industrial consumption,
13:13but also offer a stable and safe supply of proximity to our Europe.
13:21Yes, I am convinced that the future of the Mediterranean will also be written
13:26by these corridors of green hydrogen and these electric corridors
13:30that will link our two countries.
13:33And these new roads that we are building are decisive axes of growth on both sides of the Mediterranean.
13:43The head of the Elysée also affirmed, this Tuesday,
13:46that his country wants to be inspired by the actions of Morocco in Africa,
13:50especially in the Sahel region.
13:53With Africa, because yesterday's glasses have been exceeded,
13:57we are committed to a renewal of our relationship with the peoples, with the states.
14:02And Morocco, by its geography, by its history, by its culture, by the vision of its sovereigns,
14:09has been affirming for a long time its vocation as a platform, as a junction, as a singular path.
14:20Its stability, its openness, its development are unparalleled assets
14:25that we recognize for their just value and that can inspire many common initiatives.
14:33This is why I deeply believe that we have to work together,
14:37and I know I can be inspired by your country and its actions in the Sahara and the Sahel.
14:46Yes, we need in this region a respectful stability of peoples,
14:57of development projects for the youth of this region,
15:00which alone will not only allow stability, but will put an end to the roads of traffic and misery
15:10that, from the Gulf of Guinea to Libya, make the African continent and the European continent suffer.
15:22And I therefore count on this new strategy, where together we can work in this region,
15:29where France, with humility, seeks to build a new partnership strategy.
15:35It has been accused by some of all the words.
15:38Quite unfairly, because for a decade it has avoided the collapse of several states
15:44in the face of terrorism and territorial caliphates that wanted to be created.
15:49And speaking here in front of you, I have a moving memory for the children that our country has given,
15:58for the stability of the Sahel in Mali and elsewhere.
16:09For Emmanuel Macron, it is necessary to put an end to the fire in Gaza and Lebanon
16:14to free the hostages and protect the populations,
16:18and to allow humanitarian aid to finally reach the Gaza Strip.
16:23It is necessary to put an end to the fire in Gaza.
16:26And France has not stopped asking for it since last November,
16:35to put an end to the fire to free the hostages, to protect the populations,
16:41and to allow humanitarian aid to finally reach the Gaza Strip.
16:46In Lebanon as well.
16:48It is necessary to put an end to the fire and to stop military operations.
16:52We have been working on this for several weeks in connection with our American partners and several others.
16:59And that is why, in coherence with this position,
17:01I have called for the cessation of the export of weapons used today to Gaza,
17:05to Cisjordan and to Lebanon.
17:08The path of diplomacy is possible.
17:10It is demanding.
17:12And it is the one that France supports,
17:14to allow the Israeli, Palestinian and Lebanese people
17:21to see their aspirations for peace and security guaranteed,
17:25and to move them all to return home safely.
17:29Speaking of the co-organization of the World Cup 2030 between Morocco, Spain and Portugal,
17:35the French head of state said that he wished that the acceptance of this sporting competition by Morocco
17:41would be the success to which we are all eager to participate.
17:47This remark, if it is a field where we persist in opposing each other,
17:53it is only football.
18:04Because it is a shared passion,
18:06the France-Morocco match in 2022 will remain one of the great moments of the World Cup.
18:12Despite everything, your players make our championships and so many of our teams dream.
18:20And it is one of the things that reconciles the Paris Saint-Germain and the Olympique de Marseille.
18:30And I wish that the acceptance of the World Cup by Morocco in 2030
18:34would be the success to which we are eager to participate
18:37and which once again offers us so many moments of emotion.
19:11Speaking of the World Cup, Chaky Balj, President of the CGM, and Patrick Martin, President of MEDEF.
19:17The entrepreneurial meeting that we have organized today
19:21has drawn a clear and ambitious line on the future relationship that we want
19:26between the Moroccan economy and the French economy.
19:29We want a win-win relationship, which is also renewed,
19:34and which is win-win and green,
19:37because we want to introduce much more decarbonization in our industry.
19:43Now, this relationship must also take into account the extraordinary advances
19:49that our country has made in recent years,
19:51thanks to the vision of His Majesty the King, may God assist him.
19:54As President of MEDEF, the French equivalent of the CGM,
19:58200,000 companies, 10 million employees,
20:01I am absolutely overwhelmed,
20:03because this forum is in a way dedicated to all the work
20:08that Moroccan and French companies have continued to do
20:11in recent years and recent months,
20:13but it is above all an extraordinary acceleration.
20:16There are many shared projects,
20:18so I am very happy that the patronage movements
20:21have contributed to the prosperity and friendship between our two great countries.
20:27And then, this Tuesday, His Royal Highness the Princess of Al-Ameryem,
20:31President of the National Observatory of Children's Rights,
20:35and Mrs. Brigitte Macron proceeded to the Abid Aral Ghifari Araba College

20:47Initiated by the UNDE under the slogan Let's act together,
20:51this campaign led under the impulse of His Royal Highness
20:54the Princess of Al-Ameryem,
20:56a witness to the determination of Morocco to protect its children
21:00against school harassment,
21:02a global plague that requires the commitment of all.

21:23Upon arrival, Mrs. Macron was welcomed by His Royal Highness the Princess Lala Hasna
21:29before going through a review of a platoon of auxiliary forces
21:34that honored them on this occasion.

22:13In the conflict in the Middle East,
22:15more than 93 people were killed in the night Israeli strike
22:19on a residential building in Beit Lachia,
22:22in the north of the Palestinian territory.
22:24If the last report provided by the civil defense in Gaza,
22:28the Israeli air strike that took place last night
22:32aimed at a family residence of the Abu Nasra,
22:36according to the Ministry of Health,
22:38the majority of the victims were women and children.
22:45Meanwhile, the Israeli parliament has decided
22:48to ban activities in Israel
22:50from the United Nations Agency for Palestinian Refugees,
22:53provoking an international rally on the basis of negotiations
22:57for the liberation of the hostages held in Gaza.
23:00Several European capitals have denounced this ban,
23:04just like the UN and the EMS,
23:06while the UN is the main actor of humanitarian operations
23:11in the Gaza Strip.
23:13Israel criticizes the UN agency
23:16for participating in the strike on October 7, 2023.
23:22Despite the opposition of its American allies
23:24and the UN Security Council's warning,
23:27the Knesset has adopted this text,
23:30which prohibits UN activities in Israel,
23:34including in Jerusalem.
23:36In Lebanon, at least 60 people were killed yesterday
23:45in several Israeli raids,

23:49from the Lebanese Ministry of Health,
