Moroccan activists call for freeze on diplomatic ties with Israel

Moroccans launched a campaign on the Avaaz campaign, urging Morocco to freeze its economic and diplomatic ties with Israel.

“We, citizens from various parts of Morocco, declare our full solidarity with the Palestinian people and our rejection of the continued economic and diplomatic relations with the occupying state that practices all forms of racial discrimination against Palestinians, killing them, displacing them, and seizing their lands,” the petition read.

Aiming to pressure Israel into halting its aggression against Gaza and the West Bank, the signatories believe that such action by Morocco would pave the way for other countries to take a similar stance against Israel’s offensive.

The petition argues that Israel has not faced sufficient pressure to cease its attacks, which have led to prolonged conflict and humanitarian crises.

The activists call on King Mohammed VI and Prime Minister Aziz Akhannouch to freeze all economic and diplomatic relations with Israel until it agrees to a ceasefire and allows aid to reach Gaza.
