Abstract
Iraq tried to strengthen its grip over Kuwait, infuriating Arab countries, particularly the Kingdom of Morocco. The Kingdom of Morocco, for its part, has condemned the Iraqi government's military activities against Kuwait. In terms of international interventions, King Hassan II rejected all Arab demands for the use of international forces to expel Iraqi forces from Kuwait, which irritated the popular position of the Kingdom of Morocco, which had called on Arab countries to stand by Iraq against the international forces as a result of the international forces' bombing of the Iraqi people, which resulted in a high number of casualties. The Kingdom of Morocco tried to end this crisis, but it failed because of Kuwait and Saudi Arabia’s rejection of the proposals presented by Iraq. The United States of America devoted its efforts to carrying out the ground attack on Iraq, which angered the Moroccan parties, and the Moroccan popular forces continued to intensify their efforts to pressure their heads of government to stop the war against Iraq. Iraq and finally the Moroccan position became clear between the Moroccan government's fluctuation in the legitimacy of the declaration of war and his forces' participation in the restoration of Kuwait and the failure to miss the opportunity to earn money from the Gulf countries after the United States of America refused to provide debts to the Moroccan government.

(47) King Hassan II sought by all diplomatic means for the purpose of relieving the pressure of the International Monetary Fund and obtaining financial aid to support the Moroccan economy, which was suffering from a financial crisis until the beginning of the nineties. The year 1986 was an attempt to support the Jews and their influence on American and international financial institutions. The King wanted at least from this meeting to ease the pressure of the International Monetary Fund to demand Moroccan debts and dues, but he did not get what he wanted, so the Gulf crisis came as an opportunity to benefit to keep pace with its policies and international orientations. look:

(78)The Independence Party was founded in 1944, and it is the oldest party that led the liberation movement against French colonialism. The National Union of Popular Forces split from it in 1959, and the Socialist Union of Popular Forces split from it in 1975. The Party of Progress and Socialism is the former Moroccan Communist Party, founded in 1936, and the People’s Democratic Action Organization was established.
