Thousands of Moroccans took to the streets in solidarity with Gaza with the slogan "Palestine is a free land, and the Zionists must leave" speaking out loud. The protests, organized after Friday prayers, marked the 63rd consecutive week of demonstrations across several cities in Morocco.

They were held in response to a call from the Moroccan Commission for Advocating the Nation’s Causes, an NGO, under the title: "Normalization is treason."

The protesters strongly condemned the ongoing Israeli assault on Gaza, which has persisted for the second year in a row, and called for an end to the normalization of ties with the Israeli occupation. They demanded the protection of Palestinian civilians and voiced their rejection of the targeting of innocent lives.

Participants held banners that read, "Support the resistance and reject normalization" and "From the Marrakesh Al-Murabitun to the Moroccan Quarter in Palestine, eternal support for the resistance and complete rejection of the Zionists."

They also expressed their unwavering commitment to the Palestinian cause, chanting, "The martyr left a will, do not abandon the cause."

Over 100 protests sweep Morocco in solidarity with Gaza in November

These slogans have been prominent across Morocco for some time as protests have been sweeping across cities for months demanding an end to the protests.

In one of the largest rallies, pro-Palestine demonstrations swept Morocco across 48 sites, on November 29, amounting to a total of 105 protests in continued solidarity with Gaza and its people.

Thousands of people gathered in public squares across the nation following calls from civil society advocacy groups, including the Moroccan Commission for Advocating the Nation's Causes, to showcase widespread anger and vigorous support for the Palestinian cause.  

Under the slogan "Stop the Genocide in Gaza," protesters waved Palestinian flags, condemned Israeli actions, and expressed solidarity with the people of Gaza.  

The Israeli Institute for National Security Studies (INSS) earlier cited a survey conducted by Arab Barometer revealing that normalization between the Israeli occupation and Morocco has taken a severe hit in light of the unfolding genocide in Gaza, mostly due to "Israel" falling further out of favor among the Arab public.

The public opinion survey highlights a steep decline in popular support for normalization between the Israeli occupation and Arab countries, including Morocco. Support has dropped dramatically from 31% in 2022 to just 13%, reportedly due to the ongoing war on Gaza.

According to the survey, Moroccans typically describe the events in Gaza as a massacre (26%), a war (24%), genocide (14%), or mass killing (14%).
