The MoU was signed by the Moroccan Minister of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs Ahmad Al-Towfiq and the Palestinian National Authority's Minister of Endowments and Religious Affairs Mahmoud Al-Habbash. It will facilitate cooperation in four areas pertaining to Islamic affairs, education, mosques and endowments. The two sides also agreed to form a joint committee on Moroccan-Palestinian Islamic cooperation under co-chairmanship of the Endowments Ministers of the two countries.
