Thousands of Moroccans demonstrated Saturday evening in several cities across the kingdom in support of Gaza and to demand an end to the Israeli genocide against the enclave, which resumed last week.

Solidarity protests and marches were called for by civil society organizations, such as the Moroccan Front for Supporting Palestine and the Moroccan Initiative for Support and Advocacy.

Demonstrations in support of Gaza were held in several cities in the Kingdom, such as: Tetouan, Tangier, and Azrou (north), Casablanca and Safi (west), and Ouarzazate (southeast).

Demonstrators called for pressure on Israel to halt its genocide in Gaza, expressing their rejection of the renewed aggression following Israel's violation of the ceasefire agreement.

The demonstrators also raised Palestinian flags and chanted anti-occupation slogans, including: "The Zionist has been tyrannical and arrogant, and with the flood it will be destroyed," "Oh Muslims, oh free people, Al-Aqsa is calling us... is there anyone who will answer?" and "Oh free people everywhere, no Zionism, no Americans."

Since resuming its genocide in Gaza at dawn on Tuesday and continuing until Saturday, Israel has killed 634 Palestinians and injured 1,172 others, most of them women and children, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza.

This escalation, which Tel Aviv said was taking place in full coordination with Washington, represents the most significant violation of the Gaza ceasefire agreement, the second phase of which Israel refrained from implementing after the first phase expired in early March.

Despite Hamas's commitment to all terms of the agreement, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu refused to proceed with the second phase, yielding to pressure from extremists within his government.

With American support, Israel has been committing genocide in Gaza since October 7, 2023, leaving more than 162,000 Palestinians dead and wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 14,000 missing.
