The Palestinian Journalists Forum has condemned a visit by Moroccan journalists to Israel on Monday, calling for the participants to face penalties.
In a statement, the Forum expressed strong disapproval of the Moroccan delegation’s visit, urging that its members be expelled from both the professional union and the General Union of Arab Journalists.
The Forum criticized the visit as an endorsement of Israel, which it described as a “Zionist entity” responsible for genocidal crimes against Palestinian civilians and journalists over the past year. It also condemned the delegation’s actions for betraying the memory of over 183 Palestinian journalists killed by Israeli forces.
The Moroccan journalists arrived in Israel on Monday for an official trip organized by the Israeli Liaison Office in Rabat. The visit includes tours of the Karm Abu Salem crossing with Gaza and the Ra’im site, aiming to show solidarity with Israel and align with its narrative while sidelining the Palestinian perspective.
