Thousands of Moroccan university students took to the streets in various cities in the Kingdom to protest the ongoing Israeli genocide in Gaza and in solidarity with Palestine and Lebanon.
The protests coincided with a one-day strike in those universities to demand an end to normalization between Morocco and Israel. The strike was in response to the call by the National Union of Moroccan Students.
The protestors chanted solidarity slogans with Palestine and Lebanon during their marches in five major cities in the east, west, north and central Morocco.
The students carried Palestine flags and photos of Palestinian resistance leaders including martyr Ismail Haneyya, the former head of Hamas, and Yehya al-Sinwar, the current head of the Movement.
The call for strike was also meant to commemorate the first anniversary of the Israeli genocidal war on the besieged Gaza Strip with unlimited US support. The war of extermination left more than 150,000 Palestinians martyred, wounded or missing amidst vast destruction and unprecedented man-made famine.
