Thousands of people protested in Morocco’s commercial capital Casablanca late on Friday against “massacres” in the Gaza Strip and against the country’s normalisation of ties with Israel, AFP reports.
In late 2020, Morocco established diplomatic ties with Israel under the United States-brokered Abraham Accords which saw similar moves by the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain.
“We came to say ‘no’ to the barbaric massacres Israel is committing against Palestinians, to the destruction in Gaza… and to the silence of the Arab states,” protest organiser Mohammed Riahi told AFP.
