At the same context, Minister of Industry, Trade & New Technologies of the ruling moderate Islamist Justice and Development Party (PJD) Abdelkader Amara said during an event to commemorate the 2009 war on Gaza organized by the Moroccan initiative for the support of Palestine, Nossra and a student initiative against normalization with Israel that he anticipates Palestine to be liberated as more “walls” protecting Israel continue to fall during the Arab Spring. Meanwhile, Khaled Al-Sufyani, a Moroccan activist for a group that supports Iraq and Palestine, seconded Amara by saying that the liberation of Palestine will be in the “near future.” He added victory over the Zionist project is coming.” On the other hand, Sufyani warned Moroccans not to rely on prime minister and PJD Secretary General Abdelilah Benkirane alone to support Palestine, as he accused Andre Azoulay, a Moroccan Jew and a senior adviser to King Mohammed VI of Morocco, of pushing the kingdom toward normalization with Israel.
