The National Working Group for Palestine has called on Moroccans to participate in a national march in Rabat to commemorate the first anniversary of the “October 7, led by the Palestinian Hamas movement against Israel in the settlements surrounding Gaza. 

The demonstration  is expected to involve various parties, movements, organizations, unions, and citizens from diverse backgrounds, including those not affiliated with any group but in solidarity with Palestine.

This announcement was made during a press conference held at the National Working Group for Palestine’s headquarters in Rabat on Thursday. 

Abdelkader Alami coordinator of the National Working Group for Palestine, stated that the national march comes “one year after the launch of the Al-Aqsa Flood battle, amid the ongoing genocide perpetrated by the occupying army in Gaza, the West Bank, and throughout Palestinian territories and Lebanon, and in light of the unprecedented and heinous crimes committed on Palestinian and Lebanese soil by the Zionist occupation army.”

He added, “Throughout this year, the working group has engaged in numerous activities and events supporting resistance, as every people whose land has been occupied has the right to resist the occupation by all means, including armed struggle. Therefore, the Moroccan people, through all its components, have been and will continue to support the Palestinian people’s right to resist occupation, liberate their land and homeland, and establish their independent state.”

According to the coordinator, the working group firmly supports “the Palestinian resistance and has repeatedly called for this throughout the year and before it.” They urged “our country’s officials to extricate Morocco from the quagmire of normalization and end all forms of cooperation with a criminal entity that violates territories, commits war crimes and genocide, in addition to practicing apartheid; this entity was implanted through a crime that will not be forgotten.”

Among the announcements made at the press conference, held under the slogan “Al-Aqsa Flood until the liberation of Palestine and the overthrow of normalization, in loyalty to the resistance and martyrs,” was a celebration of “a full year of the blessed battle launched by the Palestinian resistance at dawn on October 7, 2023, marking a historic turning point against the barbaric entity planted by imperialism 76 years ago, in a British crime that will not fade with time.”
