The Moroccan Commission to Support the Nation’s Causes strongly condemned Thursday the projected participation of an Israeli singer at a jazz festival in the Moroccan city of Tangier.
The commission said in a statement the move comes at a time when Israeli aggressions Judaization schemes extrajudicial executions and arbitrary detentions have reached a peak in the occupied Palestinian territories.
It added that the Israeli singer Noam Vazana has often boasted about her support for the Israeli occupation army.
The commission stressed its firm rebuff of all forms of normalization with the Israeli occupation be them cultural academic or political.
“The singer’s projected participation at the festival amounts to an attempt to whitewash the Israeli crimes against the Palestinian people and holy sites” said the commission. “It is also a barefaced provocation of Moroccans’ pro-Palestine stance.”
The Israeli singer’s participation at the jazz festival in Tangier is stirring controversy in a country that is usually perceived as unfriendly to Israel.
Some locals have called for the cancellation of the upcoming performances of Noam Vazana an Israeli-born vocalist scheduled for Friday and Saturday at the Tanjazz Festival.
