Moroccans have continued to protest Israel's war on Gaza for the 42nd week in a row.

Thousands took to the streets after Friday prayers in dozens of demonstrations, °®Âþµº's Arabic edition Al-Araby Al-Jadeed reported.

Vigils were organised in cities including Agadir, Fez, Marrakesh, and Tangier, called for by a non-governmental organisation.

Sources said 42 cities announced the organisation of 95 demonstrations in support of Palestine, denouncing the war on Gaza.

Participants raised pictures of Jerusalem, Palestinian flags, and banners denouncing Israeli massacres in the Gaza Strip, demanding the end of normalisation.

Morocco, along with other Arab countries including the UAE, agreed to normalise relations with Israel in 2020.

Normalising ties with Israel is highly controversial across the Arab world and is viewed by Palestinians as a betrayal of their national cause.

Israel's war on Gaza, which began in October, has killed more than 39,000 people, according to the Palestinian enclave's health ministry.

Hospitals, ambulances, and residential buildings have been attacked and South Africa has accused Israel of genocide at the International Court of Justice.

The protests in Morocco on Friday are part of an almost daily movement so solidarity since the war began, led by civil, human rights and political activists.

There have been widespread demonstrations across the world following the outbreak of Israel's war on Gaza, including in Western countries like the UK.
