Secretary-General of Morocco’s Justice and Development Party, Abdelilah Benkirane, slammed the head of the country’s Global Media Holding group, Ahmed Charai, after he published an article defending Israel and its leaders.
In his speech during a festival organised by his party in Agadir on Saturday, Benkirane described the article as “shameful”, noting that such statements are not in line with the principles and values of defending the rights of the Palestinian people.
“It is not enough for some to repeat slogans such as ‘We are all Israel’, but they go as far as writing positions that justify Israel’s aggression and oppose the rights of the Palestinian people.”
On 27 November, the General Secretariat of the Justice and Development Party categorically rejected the contents of Charai’s article published in the Times of Israel newspaper, describing it as “explicit praise for genocide and state terrorism.”
