Major Rally in Rabat Shows Solidarity with Palestine and Support
for Palestinian Prisoners
The
National Action Group for Palestine in Morocco has announced the organization
of a major national popular march in Rabat on Sunday, April 19, 2026. The march
will start at Bab Al-Ahad at 10:00 a.m., proceed along Mohammed V Street, and
conclude at the city’s train station.
In an
official statement, the group emphasized that the march aims to affirm Moroccan
public solidarity with the Palestinian people, support prisoners held in jails
of the Israeli occupation, and denounce policies of the Israeli occupation that
violate freedom of worship and the sanctity of religious sites, particularly
the closure of Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and the
prevention of religious rituals at these sites.
The
statement also highlighted that the march will draw attention to the
deteriorating conditions of Palestinian prisoners, and reject any legislation
that legalizes the death penalty against them, describing such measures as a
serious escalation that violates the right to life and breaches the Geneva
Conventions on the treatment of prisoners.
The
national secretariat called on all political parties, trade unions, civil
society organizations, and the general Moroccan public to participate actively
in the march, which represents a continuous message of support for Palestinians
in their struggle against the Israeli occupation, aiming ultimately for the
full liberation of Palestine from the river to the sea.
The
statement underlined that the march constitutes a national occasion to showcase
Moroccan public solidarity with the Palestinian cause, highlighting the active
role of Moroccan civil society in expressing national and humanitarian
positions and reinforcing the unity between the Moroccan and Palestinian
peoples in the face of aggression and oppression.
It is
worth noting that the National Action Group for Palestine is a civil
organization established to defend Palestinian rights and support the
Palestinian people through awareness campaigns, protest activities, popular
marches, and official statements, focusing on freedom of worship, support for
Palestinian prisoners, and opposing violations by the Israeli occupation
against Palestinian lands and holy sites.
Moroccans
have continued to express their support for Palestine since the outbreak of
aggression in October 2023, reflecting the persistent popular commitment to the
Palestinian cause, even after Morocco resumed official relations with Israel in
late 2020, demonstrating the civil society’s capacity to assert its national
stance in favor of Palestine.
