RABAT: Thousands of demonstrators flooded the streets of the Moroccan capital on Sunday to protest against a new US Middle East peace plan which the Palestinians say favours Israel.
Carrying Palestinian flags, the demonstrators, including local politicians and trade unionists, marched in Rabat chanting "Long Live Palestine”.
They called for a boycott of American products, denounced the United States as "enemies of peace” and chanted "Palestine is not for sale”.
Some of the demonstrators, who wore red-black-green-white scarves in the colours of the Palestinian standard, burned an Israeli flag and spoke against any attempt by Morocco "to normalise” ties with the Jewish state.
Morocco has warming but quiet relations with Israel, and no formal diplomatic ties. (AFP)
