Muslim scholar groups have condemned Morocco’s decision to normalize relations with Israel.
The International Union for Muslim Scholars (IUMS) said in a statement that the normalization deal “contradicts with the Moroccan people’s support for the Palestinian people.”
The Doha-based group said Israel still “occupies our Al-Aqsa Mosque, Jerusalem, our blessed lands [in Palestine] and the Golan Heights of Syria, and still looks to swallow more.”
The Arab Maghreb Scholars League (AMSL), for its part, called on Rabat to reconsider its decision to establish diplomatic relations with Israel. It called on the Islamic governments to resist any internal or external pressure to give up on the Palestinian issue.
