Growing Tensions Over Israeli Flights Resumption in Morocco
The Moroccan Front for Support of Palestine and Anti-Normalization has expressed strong disapproval regarding the resumption of direct flights from Israeli airlines Arkia and Israir to Marrakech. In a statement released on Wednesday, the group declared its intention to organize escalating protests aimed at halting normalization with Israel. This announcement comes at a critical time, as Arkia has confirmed that its flights between Tel Aviv and Marrakech will recommence on August 24, following a three-year hiatus, with two weekly flights planned. Similarly, Israir has announced the start of its direct route to Marrakech beginning September 1, operating one flight per week until the end of October.
The Moroccan Front for Support of Palestine and Anti-Normalization firmly stated that the resumption of these flights represents a troubling development in Morocco-Israel relations, urging the public to resist the welcoming of Israeli flights and delegations in the country. The group emphasized the importance of ongoing pressure in support of the Palestinian cause, advocating for boycott as a significant means to confront the normalization of relations with Israel. This stance reflects a larger context of protests and solidarity events taking place in various Moroccan cities, aimed at supporting Palestinians and demanding an end to normalization with Israel, especially in light of the ongoing conflict in Gaza.
