TEHRAN (IQNA) – Thousands of Moroccans on Monday took to the streets in the city of Casablanca, west of the country, to voice their support for the Palestinian Intifada (uprising).

According to al-Jarida24.ma website, they condemned the Zionist attacks on al-Aqsa Mosque and expressed solidarity with the oppressed Palestinian nation.


The rally was staged at the invitation of 33 political, civil, and law associations and institutes.


Some 200,000 Moroccans are estimated to have attended the huge rally in the port city.


The protesters chanted slogans like “We will sacrifice our life and blood for al-Aqsa Mosque”, and “The nation seeks the liberation of Palestine”. 


They also carried placards demanding an end to the ongoing Israeli crimes against the Palestinians, and called on the international community to boycott Israeli products.


Tensions in the occupied territories escalated after the Tel Aviv regime in August imposed restrictions on the entry of Palestinian worshipers into the al-Aqsa Mosque in East al-Quds (Jerusalem). The Palestinians are also angry at aggressive Israeli settlers, who frequently storm al-Aqsa Mosque, the third holiest site in Islam.


Nearly 60 Palestinians have been killed and hundreds of others injured since the Israeli regime began a harsh crackdown on Palestinians in early October. At least ten Israelis have died as a result of attacks over the past few weeks.
