Once again, thousands of Moroccans angered by Israeli atrocities committed in Gaza took to the streets to demand that normalization between Rabat and Tel Aviv be dropped.
The Rabat march, organized by the “Moroccan Front to Support Palestine and Against Normalization,” under the slogan “The Moroccan people call with one voice: Stop the war of genocide, stop normalization,” comes on the occasion of the third anniversary of the signing of the agreement to restore relations between Morocco and Israel on December 22, 2020.
Angry slogans about the continuation of relations between Rabat and Tel Aviv filled the capital’s streets, as Moroccan s voiced their anger against Israel and its aggression on Palestinians, which is nearing its fourth month.
The march was attended by leftist leaders, including the new Secretary-General of the Unified Socialist Party, Jamal Al Asri, Islamic leaders, union activists, Moroccan doctors, and various other societal groups, with a strong child and youth presence.
Jamal Al-Asri, Secretary-General of the United Socialist Party, said, “The party was and still is a defender of the Palestinian cause, no matter how the leadership, political offices, or national councils change.”
Al Asri added, in a statement to Hespress, that “the issue of Palestine is not only the unified socialist issue, but rather it is a file in the conscience of all Moroccans, and we will continue to defend the establishment of the Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital, with the return of all refugees, and the release of all prisoners.”
The leftist leader stressed that “the party continues to reject the normalization treaty that has passed three years since its signing between Rabat and Tel Aviv, as it is illegal and unconstitutional, so that the representatives of the nation and the Moroccan people in Parliament were not included in discussing it, as is the case with the rest of the signed agreements.” “.
The spokesman stressed that “the normalization agreement, since its signing, was subsequently announced by the Unified Socialist Party, through a set of statements by the previous and current leadership, that it was outside the context of the desire of the Moroccan people, and we called, and we are still calling, for the necessity of canceling it.”
“We will continue to raise the slogan: No to normalization, no to the Zionist Liaison Office in Rabat, and no to any representative whatsoever of this entity, whose presence we are not honored to put our hand in the hand of a brutal criminal stained with the blood of innocents,” Al Asri said.
Regarding the issue of the possibility of having an official voice that meets these demands, the Secretary-General of the United Socialist Party said: “We have faith that any popular pressure will force rulers to change their positions, and the greatest evidence of that is February 20, so we will prevail in our demand to stop relations with Israel.”
Member of the National Secretariat of the Moroccan Front to Support Palestine and Against Normalization, About Chita Mousaaif said: “What is new in today’s march is the expression of a unified Moroccan voice on the anniversary of the normalization of relations with Israel, saying that this process has come to an end today.”
In a statement to Hespress, Mousaaif said that “petitions signed in the previous march are continuing to collect signatures, and when the required number is reached, they will be presented officially.”
The activist stressed that “the march is a continuous denunciation of the crimes committed by the Zionist entity against the Palestinian people, amid the clear silence of the international community, which continues to turn a blind eye to an ominous scene, while the lofty resistance continues its heroic operations.”
“The Moroccan people today continue to demonstrate their continuous and uninterrupted support for the Palestinian issue, and also to make their clear voice heard regarding the necessity of stopping relations with Tel Aviv as soon as possible.”
Mousaaif revealed that “the Moroccan Front to Support Palestine and Against Normalization will work on new initiatives in order to plead for a law to criminalize normalization with the Zionist entity.”
