Moroccans hold nationwide rallies in support of Palestine, Lebanon

More than 110 demonstrations were held across 58 cities in response to a call from the non-governmental body, Organization for Support of the Ummah’s Causes.

The demonstration held on Friday marked the 57th of such rallies titled ‘Friday of Rage’ since the launch of the ‘Al-Aqsa Flood’ operation.

are part of the Moroccan people’s steadfast support for Palestine and Lebanon.

Protesters, in Tetouan, Fez, Meknes, Casablanca, and Agadir, expressed their strong opposition to Israel’s ongoing acts of genocide in Gaza, particularly the systematic starvation in the north, where civilians face relentless pressure to flee their homes. Demonstrators also raised concerns about the brutal aggression against Lebanon, where thousands have been killed, injured, or displaced.

Carrying banners reading “Gaza Will Prevail” and “We Are All Gaza, We Are All Palestine,” participants condemned US and Western support for what they referred to as the “criminal entity.”

They called on the Moroccan government to immediately stop its normalization efforts with Israel, whose actions have left tens of thousands of Palestinians dead or wounded, most of them women and children. The ongoing conflict has resulted in over 10,000 missing people and widespread destruction in Gaza, compounded by a devastating famine.

In their chants, demonstrators voiced unwavering support for the Palestinian resistance and solidarity with Lebanon, vowing to continue their protests until the war is stopped and Palestinians are granted their legitimate rights. They also decried Israel’s disregard for international warnings and UN resolutions, as the country continues to expand its attacks and intensify airstrikes across Lebanon.

Despite the catastrophic humanitarian situation, Israel continues to ignore the UN Security Council’s call for an immediate ceasefire and the International Court of Justice’s orders to prevent genocide.

Moroccan protesters reaffirmed their commitment to peacefully demonstrating until justice is served for both Palestine and Lebanon.
