Doha, Qatar: Thousands rallied in the streets of the Moroccan capital Rabat on Sunday in support of Palestinians in Gaza and in denouncement of the Israeli occupation forces' latest actions in besieged Gaza Strip.

Waving Palestinian flags, demonstrators marched in central Rabat and threw smoke bombs and fireworks as riot police stood between them and the Parliament building and other landmarks.

Royal Air Maroc, temporarily cancelled flights from Casablanca to Tel Aviv - a route that began in 2021.

Hassan Ait Amar, a 52-year-old from Casablanca, carried a sign demanding Morocco’s lawmakers revoke a normalization of ties with Israel.

"If they want peace, they (Israel) should respect Palestinians, international law and a two-state solution,” he said.
