Thousands of demonstrators marched in Rabat on Sunday, denouncing a new Israeli law that would allow the execution of Palestinians convicted of deadly attacks, while reaffirming support for the Palestinian cause.

An estimated 5,000 people gathered along Mohammed V Avenue in central Rabat, waving Palestinian and Moroccan flags and chanting slogans against the death penalty and Israel’s military actions in Gaza.

The march was organized by the National Action Group for Palestine, a coalition bringing together Islamist and left-wing groups, including members linked to the Justice and Development Party.

Participants framed the protest as part of a broader popular movement supporting Palestinians.

“Protests and boycotts are the least we can do,” said one student marcher, emphasizing solidarity with detainees facing possible execution.

Others condemned the law as unjust and incompatible with religious and legal principles.
