Some ten thousand demonstrators took part on Sunday in Rabat in a nationwide march to reiterate their solidarity with the Palestinian people and Morocco's continued support for the Palestinian cause. The participants in this march, which was held in response to an appeal by a group of political bodies, trade unions and organizations working in the field of human rights, and in which personalities from the political world took part, hoisted banners affirming that Al-Quds is the capital of Palestine and reiterating the commitment of the Moroccan people to the just cause of the Palestinian people. In this regard, Khalid Sefiani, a member of the secretariat of the national action Group for Palestine, told MAP that this is a historic day on which the Moroccan people, all associative, trade union and political components combined, reiterate their unanimous rejection of the «Deal of the century». Through this march, the Moroccan people affirm their adherence to the battle for the liberation of Palestine and the struggle against any form of normalization, he noted. For his part, Palestinian ambassador in Rabat Jamal Choubki said, in a similar statement, that this march, which brings together the Moroccan people of all sensibilities, sends a message that Morocco rejects the «Deal of the century» and supports Palestine until the establishment of its independent State with Al-Quds as its capital. «It is a day of Palestine par excellence, which Moroccans have marked with Palestinian flags and slogans supporting the Palestinian cause and defending Al-Quds,» he said, affirming that «the Moroccan people unanimously support this cause and send a message that will hopefully reach the whole world».
