Demanding an end to Morocco's relations with Israel, thousands of demonstrators held one of the biggest pro-Palestinian marches in Rabat on Sunday since the start of the Gaza War.
Protests against Israel’s war in Gaza have repeatedly drawn thousands of people in Morocco since the conflict began more than two months ago.
Sunday’s march was co-organized by leftist groups and the outlawed but tolerated Al-Adl Wal-Ihsan Islamists.
Most of the 10,000 protesters waved Palestinian flags and held placards reading “resistance till victory,” “Stop Moroccan government normalization with Israel” and “free Palestine.” Protesters also called for a boycott of brands they accuse of supporting Israel.
Morocco agreed to strengthen ties with Israel in 2020, under a deal brokered by the US administration under then President Donald Trump that also included Washington recognizing Moroccan sovereignty over the disputed territory of Western Sahara.
