Moroccan groups join global march to end Gaza siege and genocide
Political and civic organizations within the Moroccan Front for Supporting Palestine and Against Normalization, along with the National Action Group for Palestine, have announced their participation in the global march calling for an end to the genocide and the lifting of the siege on the Gaza Strip. The march is scheduled to arrive in Cairo on June 12, with the return planned for June 20. At a press conference held on Wednesday, the National Action Group for Palestine stated that it had joined this international initiative, which brings together participants from 32 countries. The march will head to Egypt's El-Arish governorate in the Sinai Peninsula and then continue to Rafah, with the aim of «breaking the siege, ending the aggression» by the Israeli occupation, and «opening the crossings to deliver humanitarian aid to the grieving and resilient families» in Palestine. «History will remember with shame and dishonor the tragedy of the Palestinian people, who have been fighting for nearly a century for their freedom, independence, and the liberation of their land from invaders and occupiers», the Group's secretariat said in its statement. It also denounced that it has now been «more than 600 days» since the population of the Gaza Strip began enduring what it described as genocide, citing nearly «200,000 martyrs and injured» since October 7, 2023. The Group's participation, it explained, is intended to help mobilize Moroccan citizens who wish to join the march, while also coordinating the necessary administrative procedures. To this end, a letter was sent to the Egyptian embassy in Morocco requesting a meeting with the ambassador. However, the Group noted that this request has yet to receive a response. «We have also addressed a letter to the Moroccan Ministry of Foreign Affairs, urging it to intervene with the relevant Egyptian authorities to facilitate Moroccan participation in this global march», the Group added. During the press conference, organizers also detailed the planned itinerary: arrival at Cairo airport on June 12, departure for El-Arish on June 13, and the beginning of the march on foot to Rafah on the evening of June 13 or 14. Participants will spend three days in Rafah—on June 16, 17, and 18—before returning to Cairo on June 19. The final overnight stay in Cairo will be followed by departure on June 20.

Moroccans demonstrate in support of Palestinians
RABAT: Several thousand people demonstrated in Morocco's capital on Sunday to show support for Palestinians in war-torn Gaza. Under pouring rain, demonstrators marched through the streets of Rabat in response to a call from the National Action Group for Palestine, a coalition of several political organizations, including the Islamist Justice and Development Party (PJD). 'The Moroccans are with Gaza,' said the principal of a private school in Rabat who spoke to AFP. The North African kingdom has officially called for 'the immediate, complete and permanent halt to the Israeli war on Gaza,' but has not publicly discussed reversing the official establishment of ties with Israel in 2020 as part of the US-led Abraham Accords. The latest protest followed another large rally held a week earlier, part of a spate of demonstrations across the country since the Israeli army resumed its offensive on March 18 against the Islamist group Hamas after a two-month truce in Gaza.

Rabat to host a march in solidarity with Palestinians on Sunday
The National Action Group for Palestine has called for a national solidarity march in support of the Palestinian people and against genocide, set to take place in Rabat on Sunday, April 13, 2025. The march will begin at 10 a.m. at Bab El Had and proceed towards Bab er-Rouah. In a statement, the group described the march as «a continuation of the popular mobilization in which the Moroccan people have engaged to support the Palestinian struggle against occupation, aggression, and barbaric genocide, as well as the systematic siege aimed at starving and subjugating Gaza, its people, and its resistance». The group also announced plans to hold a press conference on the march, with the date to be confirmed in the coming days. Since the start of Israel's war on Gaza in October 2023, Moroccans have regularly participated in demonstrations and solidarity marches in support of the Palestinian people.
