Siege-breaking march prepares to pass through Libya toward Gaza, starting from Tunisia
The Coordination Committee for Joint Action for Palestine in Tunisia is preparing to launch a land march to break the siege on Gaza. Thousands from Tunisia and the Maghreb countries have joined the convoy, which is scheduled to depart on June 9 toward Gaza, passing through Libya and then Egypt, in an effort to break the Israeli blockade on the Palestinian enclave and deliver aid. The "National Working Group for Palestine" announced on Tuesday that it had launched the registration platform for the international march to break the siege on Gaza. In a statement, it explained that this step is part of the preparations for launching the international march. The "Moroccan Front for Supporting Palestine" also announced in a statement its participation in the international march toward Gaza and its support for this initiative. It stated that it "will continue its multi-faceted struggle to end the genocide, including participating in the global march toward the Rafah crossing to stop the long-standing criminal blockade on Gaza." Moroccan organizations noted that participants in the international march will first fly to Tunisia, then travel overland through Libya and Egypt to reach Gaza. In parallel with the planned land convoy, the "Maddalena" ship, part of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, departed on Sunday from the port of Catania, Italy, aiming to break the Israeli blockade on Gaza.

Thousands rally in Rabat for Palestine, call for end to normalization
Thousands of Moroccans took to the streets of Rabat today in a massive march in solidarity with the Palestinian people. Despite heavy rain pouring over the capital, demonstrators from across the country raised slogans supporting Palestinian resistance and denouncing international complicity with Israel. Waving Palestinian flags and holding portraits of iconic resistance figures—many of them wearing keffiyehs—the crowd also chanted calls for an end to official normalization with the Israeli state. The National Working Group for Palestine, which organized the march, issued a statement afterward declaring that they «strongly and angrily demand the end to normalization». The statement went on to warn that normalization poses «a direct threat to the security, social peace, present, and future of Morocco as a state and as a people, given the extent and depth of Israeli penetration into all vital and strategic sectors». Ending normalization, it stressed, is «a national duty for all Moroccans—citizens and officials alike—to protect the country from criminal and destructive schemes, and not just an act of solidarity with the Palestinian people». The group also announced a «national popular march» to be held next Sunday, April 20, in the northern city of Ksar Sghir, outside the Tangier Med Port. The demonstration will protest the passage of ships allegedly carrying military equipment destined for the Israeli military, while the Moroccan government «remains silent and refuses to clarify its official position despite mounting pressure from popular movements».
