Thousands of Moroccans protest Israel’s war in Gaza
Rabat saw thousands of Moroccans protest Israel’s war in Gaza on 13 April, displaying one of most united fronts of rights organisations in years.
Demonstrators occupied the Capital’s historic Bab El-had square, in what organisers deemed “a cry from the nation against the extermination of Palestinians,” according to The New Arab.
The protest is indicative of the enduring backlash against Morocco’s normalisation of relations with Israel in 2020, receiving support by Tel Aviv and the US for its annexation of Western Sahara in return.
