Brits, Moroccans demand end to Gaza genocide
In London, protesters demonstrated during the “National March for Gaza,” calling to end the Israel onslaught and stop arming the regime.
The protesters were holding banners that read, “Stop arming Israel,” to demand a halt to the UK government’s weapons sale to Israel.
Over the past ten months, huge protests have taken place in Britain’s capital and other major UK cities, demanding an immediate halt to arms sales to Israel.
Data released by the government’s business department revealed in June that Britain had issued more than 100 export licenses for the sale of weapons and military equipment to Israel since the regime launched its savage military offensive in the populated besieged territory in October last year.
Meanwhile, Moroccans staged a massive demonstration in the capital Rabat to protest the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran on Wednesday. The protesters also condemned normalization with Israel.
Waving Palestinian flags, and brandishing pictures of Haniyeh and a cardboard coffin adorned with his image, thousands of people marched to the parliament building with black and white keffiyeh scarves, which are symbols of the Palestinian cause, draped across their shoulders.
The war in Gaza “is a shame for humanity” Halima Hilali, 64, said.
The Saturday’s rally was organized by the National Action Group for Palestine.
Since the beginning of the Gaza war on October 7, several large demonstrations have taken place in Morocco calling for the end of normalization. Morocco established official ties in Israel in 2020 as part of the US-led Abraham Accords.
