Zionism is “another form of colonialism,” an Istiqlal leader declared in Rabat, the Moroccan capital, today. Istiqlal is the leading nationalist party in this country.
Si Mohamed Lyazyde, secretary of the party, ruled out any possibility of diplomatic relations between Morocco and Israel. He declared that it was the duty of Moslems to fight Zionism “until it is defeated.” The Istiqlal Party, he said, is in “step with other Arab nations on the question of Israel.”
