Dozens of human rights activists protested in front of the Moroccan parliament building in Rabat on Tuesday against the visit of the Israeli occupation army Chief of Staff Aviv Kochavi. 

The popular National Action Group for Palestine, which opposes normalization between Morocco and the Israeli occupation, organized the protest. 

The Moroccan Observatory against Normalization described the visit as "a heinous crime”, tersely denouncing the act of normalization with the Israeli occupation.
