RABAT, Morocco
Protests against Israel's attacks in Gaza, which have been ongoing for more than three months, took place in 56 cities in Morocco.
According to a statement from the Foundation for Supporting the Issues of the Ummah civil society organization, demonstrations were organized at 113 locations under the slogan: "No to the displacement of Palestinians."
Protesters, condemning the war in Gaza and the international community's silence, congratulated South Africa for filing a "genocide" case against Israel at the International Court of Justice.
They urged the Moroccan government to reconsider its normalization agreement with Israel.
Morocco and Israel signed a normalization deal Dec. 10, 2020, where Morocco resumed diplomatic relations with Israel in exchange for recognizing Morocco's sovereignty in Western Sahara.
