[13] On 29 October 2022, Bourita arrived in Algeria, to participate in the preparatory meeting of foreign ministers for the Arab League Council.

[21] In March 2023, the moderate Islamist Justice and Development Party (PJD), which formerly led government from 2011 to 2021, accused Bourita of "defending the zionist entity [Israel]... at a time the Israeli occupation continues its criminal aggression against our Palestinian brothers".

The royal cabinet subsequently issued a statement rebuking the PJD, adding that Morocco's foreign policy was a prerogative of the king and would not be "subject to blackmail".

[22][23] On 11 October 2023, Arab foreign ministers held an emergency meeting in Cairo, headed by Morocco, to discuss ways to stop the escalation in the Palestinian territories, and the targeting of civilians during the 2023 Israel–Hamas war.

Bourita spoke with U.S. Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken, both discussed efforts to prevent a regional escalation and secure the release of hostages.
