Morocco decries Israeli attack against Palestinian civilians

Morocco yesterday denounced the "odious aggression" perpetrated Monday by Israel against Palestinian civilians in Gaza and which claimed several victims. "At a time intensive contacts are conducted to put an end to the Israeli occupation, restore calm in the region and resume the peace process, the Israeli army perpetrated, on Monday, barbarous acts when it raided residential districts in Gaza, killing several innocent civilians," the Moroccan foreign department said in a release.
