Israeli Minister's Controversial Visit to Morocco
In recent days, the hashtag #Only_the_Messenger_of_Allah has surged across social media platforms, coinciding with the visit of an Israeli minister who has previously made derogatory remarks about the adhan and Muslims. Activists have called for renewed circulation of this hashtag as the anniversary of the Prophet's birth approaches, expressing their discontent with the public visit of Israeli Transportation Minister Miri Regev to Morocco. This visit comes at a time when Tel Aviv continues its military operations and assaults in Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, and Syria.
Public Backlash and Protests
Upon her arrival in Morocco on August 19, 2026, aboard the first renewed direct flight from Israel to Marrakech, Regev's trip was labeled as "private" by her office and is set to last until August 24. Social media users have resurrected Regev's offensive comments towards Islam, made in October 2018 regarding her stance on banning the adhan in Palestinian mosques. The minister's visit has sparked significant protests, where participants condemned her presence as a provocative act amidst ongoing atrocities in Gaza, asserting their opposition to normalization with the Israeli occupation and demanding the cessation of receptions for its officials.
Demonstrators gathered in Marrakech to voice their disapproval of Regev's visit, which they deemed inappropriate during a period marked by severe violence and human rights violations. This is her third visit to Morocco during her current term, coinciding with preparations for the celebration of the Prophet's birth, fueling the momentum of the campaign against her on social media. Many users have been vocal about amplifying the hashtag as a means to express their love for the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and their rejection of any form of disrespect towards him.
