Moroccans Protest Israeli Actions at Al-Aqsa Mosque on Al-Quds Day

Support for Palestine comes "at a time when we are witnessing continuous aggression against the faithful inside the Al-Aqsa Mosque, and we are witnessing continuous aggression against the Palestinian people in all Palestinian territories, the continued siege of Gaza, and the abuse and torture of prisoners in Zionist prisons," said Abdelkader El Alami, coordinator of the National Action Group for Palestine, to Hespress. He assured that the issue of Jerusalem is at the heart of the challenges of his association, and that Palestine must be liberated, because "it is currently subject to a criminal regime, an apartheid regime".

"This criminal entity will never be able to put the Moroccan people in its hands, and the Moroccan people can only be with the truth, justice and equity, that is to say the liberation of Palestine, the liberation of Jerusalem and the liberation of Al Aqsa," he estimated. "We must remain by the side of the Palestinian people until the creation of a free and independent Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital." This position is a condemnation of "the invader, the occupier of Israel, ally of the imperialist countries," declared Abderrahman Benamro, lawyer and former trade unionist.

"We will continue to support this until the goals and principles that humanity has reached are achieved," he assured. "It is also about achieving the goals of the Palestinian people and removing and eliminating the occupation and building an independent and democratic Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital." Hailing this Moroccan solidarity, Atallah Hanna, the Archbishop of the Orthodox Church of Jerusalem, stressed that Christians and Muslims are targeted in Jerusalem because they are "Palestinians".
