Pro-Palestinian Rally in Rabat: A Demonstration of Solidarity
On October 7, 2026, hundreds of demonstrators gathered in front of the Moroccan Parliament in Rabat, expressing their unwavering support for the Palestinian cause and opposing normalization of relations with Israel. This event commemorates the third anniversary of the October 7, 2023 attack, which heralded the onset of the ongoing conflict in Gaza. With chants of "Long live Palestine and the resistance" and "Death to Israel and the Zionists," participants conveyed their strong sentiments against Israeli policies, while many held placards declaring "No to normalization."
Abdelhafid Sriti, the coordinator of the National Action Group for Palestine in Morocco, who orchestrated the rally alongside a coalition of Islamist and leftist parties, emphasized the importance of continued resistance. He stated, "Freedom for the prisoners, swift recovery for the wounded. The resistance will persist until Palestine is liberated." The coalition plans to hold additional actions across various Moroccan cities until October 11, in remembrance of the tragic events that unfolded three years ago.
Since the outbreak of the Gaza war, Morocco has witnessed numerous large-scale protests advocating for Palestinian rights and calling for the annulment of normalization agreements with Israel. This comes in light of recent announcements that both Morocco and Israel are set to open embassies in each other's countries, as confirmed by the Israeli Foreign Ministry following a meeting between the two nations' foreign ministers, facilitated by the United States in New York.
