Morocco: Protest in front of Parliament against military cooperation with Israel

Dozens of Moroccans protested in front of the Parliament building in Rabat against the opening of a permanent office for the Israeli military attaché, demanding an end to military cooperation and normalization with Israel, while expressing solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza.

Dozens of Moroccans protested on Friday in front of the Parliament building in the capital Rabat, protesting the opening of a permanent office for the Israeli military attaché in the kingdom, and demanding an end to military cooperation and normalization with Israel. The protest was called by the "National Action Group for Palestine" under the slogan "Support for wounded Gaza." Participants raised slogans demanding the reversal of the opening of the Israeli military attaché's office and an end to military cooperation between the two countries, alongside solidarity banners with Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, and condemning Israeli attacks and the humanitarian situation in the Strip. They also demanded the dissolution of the Moroccan-Israeli parliamentary friendship group. The Israeli Ministry of Security had announced on Tuesday that the visit includes the opening of a permanent office for the Israeli security attaché in Rabat, preceded by an announcement by the Royal Moroccan Armed Forces on Monday that military cooperation between Morocco and Israel is witnessing a "positive dynamic," following talks on developing cooperation in the fields of military equipment and technology, defense industry, and cybersecurity.
