PJD raises concerns over proliferation of «underground» churches in Casablanca
The Islamist parliamentarian emphasized that «public opinion in Casablanca is disturbed by the widespread use of underground spaces and other areas to host 'churches,' especially in certain popular neighborhoods». He requested to know the identity «of the parties behind these informal churches and whether they have obtained the necessary permits to open these places».
Haiker urged the Ministers of the Interior and Islamic Affairs «to disclose the measures they plan to take to address these phenomena, which deprive citizens of a sense of spiritual security».
King Mohammed VI stated in November 2016, during a visit to Madagascar, that he is «the Commander of the Faithful, of believers of all religions». This message was reiterated in March 2019 in Rabat, during a speech delivered in front of Pope Francis.

Morocco : Without the PJD, members of the Pan-Arab-Islamist Congress support Iran
Moroccan figures affiliated with the Pan-Arab-Islamic Congress have voiced unequivocal support for Iran in its recent confrontation with Israel. In a statement released on Sunday following their meeting on Saturday, June 28, they strongly «condemned the brutal Zionist and American aggression against the Islamic Republic of Iran», calling it a «blatant violation of international law and a dangerous escalation that threatens the security and stability of the region». The Moroccan members of the Congress, founded in 1996, also «hailed Iran's firm and determined response», claiming it sent «a clear message that such attacks will not go unpunished» and demonstrated that «the Axis of Resistance now possesses new deterrence strategies that challenge the calculations of the Zionist entity». The statement makes no mention of the Iranian missile strikes that targeted Qatar, a U.S. ally. It is signed by Mohamed Hamdaoui, representing the Islamist current and a prominent figure within Al Adl wal Ihsane, and Abdessamad Belkebir, a member of the Congress's Monitoring Committee and a former member of the OADP (Organization of Popular Democratic Action), founded by the late Bensaid Aït Idder. Several well-known pro-Palestinian activists also took part in the June 28 meeting, including Khalid Sefiani, Secretary General of the Pan-Arab-Islamic Congress and coordinator of the National Action Group for Palestine, and Ahmed Ouihmane, president of the Moroccan Observatory Against Normalization. The Justice and Development Party (PJD) was notably absent. The party's participation in the Pan-Arab-Islamic Congress was suspended following its endorsement of the resumption of diplomatic ties between Morocco and Israel, announced on December 10, 2020. In fact, the National Action Group for Palestine also suspended the PJD from its ranks after then-Prime Minister and PJD Secretary General Saad-Eddine El Othmani signed the Joint Declaration between Morocco, the United States, and Israel in Rabat on December 22, 2020, in the presence of King Mohammed VI. Since returning to the party's leadership in October 2021, Abdelilah Benkirane has repeatedly called for the severing of diplomatic relations with Israel.

Palestinian refugee and Gaza doctor stories rejected from Arabic exam in Morocco
The Regional Directorate of the Ministry of National Education in Al Fida–Mers Sultan district in Casablanca has rejected two texts intended for the sixth-grade Arabic language exam scheduled for June 2025. Both texts addressed the suffering of the Palestinian people under Israeli occupation. The first text tells the story of a Palestinian refugee dreaming of returning to his homeland, while the second recounts the experience of a Palestinian doctor who, against all odds, continued to provide medical aid to his besieged people in Gaza. The directorate justified its decision by stating that the proposed texts «touched on politically sensitive national issues» and requested that the Arabic language exam topic be «replaced with something more appropriate». This decision sparked a wave of controversy on social media and drew attention in parliament. Abdessamad Haiker, a MP from the Justice and Development Party (PJD), submitted a written question to the Minister of National Education, Primary Education, and Sports. He emphasized that «the resilience of the Palestinian people in facing occupation and their right to return to their homeland are legitimate rights guaranteed by international law and various relevant international resolutions. These rights have never been a matter of debate or disagreement among Moroccans of different backgrounds». Haiker added, «Moroccans have historically been at the forefront of supporting the Palestinian people and defending their historic and legitimate rights, including the right to return to Palestine. This issue has always been deeply rooted in the Moroccan conscience and has never been a source of sensitivity». He described the directorate's actions as a blatant provocation to the feelings of Moroccans and a direct affront to their national values—chief among them the Palestinian cause, which «His Majesty the King equates with the territorial integrity of the kingdom». Haiker called on the Minister of National Education and Primary Education to clarify the details of this decision and outline the measures his ministry will take to address this offensive incident and prevent its recurrence. Meanwhile, the Moroccan Front for Supporting Palestine and Against Normalization issued a statement condemning the move, declaring that «the censored text, prepared in full compliance with the exam procedures manual and the framework for the primary education certificate exam, was unlawfully rejected». The Front strongly denounced «the actions of the Al Fida-Mers Sultan Regional Directorate», calling them «an act of educational normalization, the most dangerous form of normalization with the Zionist entity». The Front affirmed that this incident is «not isolated but part of the Moroccan regime's ongoing comprehensive normalization with the criminal Zionist entity». They demanded «a fair and independent investigation into the matter and that those responsible for this blatant betrayal be held accountable».

Morocco : Benkirane defends his support for Iran
On Sunday, June 22, Abdelilah Benkirane led the regional congress of the Justice and Development Party (PJD) in Fès-Meknès. During his speech, the secretary-general reaffirmed his party's condemnation of the Israeli strikes on Iran. «I stand with Morocco against Iran when the conflict directly involves our country, and I support Morocco against any state that seeks to confront it», he declared. Defending his position, Benkirane recalled instructing PJD members not to join the early demonstrations of the February 20 Movement in 2011, during the Arab Spring. «The one who opposed those protests from the very beginning was me, Abdelilah Benkirane. It's time to stop the one-upmanship», he added. He clarified that his support for Iran stems from religious considerations: «Today, Iran is not confronting Morocco but Israel, which is backed by the United States». Benkirane stressed that Iran supports the Palestinians in their struggle against Israeli aggression. As a reminder, on November 23, 2024, Benkirane praised «the axis of resistance, the only force that truly supports the Palestinians and has paid a high price for it, namely the Shia axis, including Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Houthis in Yemen, and Iran». In his speech, however, he avoided any reference to Iran's backing of the Polisario or its recognition of the so-called «SADR». Just hours after the June 13 Israeli strikes on targets in Iran, the PJD's general secretariat condemned the attacks, describing them as a «Zionist terrorist aggression against the Iranian people» and a «violation of Iran's territory and sovereignty». PJD stated that «the targeting of infrastructure and the assassination of Iranian leaders» represented a «flagrant breach of international laws and conventions, amid reprehensible international silence and the full complicity of the United States».
