Moroccans waving Palestinian flags took to the streets of the capital Rabat calling on the government to cut ties with Israel in protest against continued Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip which have killed thousands of civilians, Reuters reports.

Protests against Israel’s bombardments of Gaza have repeatedly drawn thousands of people in Morocco since the conflict began two months ago.

Protesters chanted “Palestine is not for sale”, “Resistance go ahead to victory and liberation” and “the people want an end to normalisation”, referring to the policy of Morocco and other Arab states normalising ties with Israel.

Protesters also called for a boycott of brands they accuse of supporting Israel.

“We call on Morocco to end diplomatic relations with Israel, a country that killed children and women in Gaza and destroyed hospitals in full brutality,” said Ahmed El Yandouzi, as he was queuing to sign a petition with a Palestinian scarf around his neck.
