B’nai B’rith International has issued the following statement:

B’nai B’rith International commends King Mohammed VI of Morocco on the passage of constitutional reforms on July 1 which include recognition of national diversity and reflect the positive relationship between Morocco and its Jewish population. Among wider reforms, provisions guaranteeing freedom of religion and human rights are supported by The Council of Israelite Communities of Morocco.

The newlaws are meant to improve understanding between different cultural and religious groups in Morocco—an important step in continuing to build on the existing goodwill between Morocco and its Jewish community.
