A Moroccan NGO has condemned the visit to Morocco of a delegation led by the director general of Israel’s Ministry of Defence, announced on Monday 9 November 2026. In a statement, the association says the visit comes as the Israeli occupation continues to weigh on the people of the Gaza Strip, in a humanitarian context made worse by harsh weather conditions.
According to the statement, the Israeli army has killed more than 1,600 Palestinians and wounded more than 5,800 since the ceasefire. The NGO recalls that the Moroccan people reject normalisation, as demonstrations organised in several cities over the past three years reportedly show. It calls for the cancellation of the agreements signed with Israel and says that more than 74,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza, as well as in the West Bank and Jerusalem.
It also calls for support for the people of Gaza and for the defence of the Al-Aqsa Mosque and Jerusalem against Israeli plans which, it says, aim to transform the Arab and Islamic identity of these places.
This reaction follows the announcement on 9 November of the reception of Israel’s defence director general in Morocco. On 10 November, Mohammed VI had Israel’s defence chief welcomed in Rabat.
