A demonstration was held today at the Muhammad V Square at the Moroccan capital of Rabat to protest the killing of Palestinians in Gaza by the Israeli forces.
The National Action Group for Palestine organized a rally where speakers stressed support for the Palestinian people.
Recall that on October 9, Israel imposed a “total blockade” of the Gaza Strip, blocking the entry of food, water, medicine, fuel and electricity.
The blockade came in response to the beginning of the 2023 Israel-Hamas war and attacks in Israel by Hamas militants.
Israel launched the retaliatory offensive after Hamas’ October 7 terror attacks that killed 1,300 people.
Fears for civilians are growing as Israel says it is gearing up for the next stages of its war with Hamas, including widespread strikes and “significant ground operations.”
News agencies report that the United States has ordered a second carrier strike group to the eastern Mediterranean and is sending Air Force fighter jets to the region.
The warships are not intended to take part in Israel’s operations, but to deter others from entering the conflict, such as Iran and Hezbollah.
However, Pope Francis has appealed for a humanitarian corridor
The head of the Catholic Church, called for the establishment of humanitarian corridors in Gaza and for the release of hostages taken by Hamas during an address at St. Peter’s Square on Sunday
