Despite the spatial dimension, Moroccan poets are inhabited by Al-Aqsa

Despite the divergence of the homelands, Palestine inhabited the minds of the Moroccan poets who sang about it and made the blood of its martyrs a culmination of their poems.

The poets focus on the presence of Jerusalem in the Moroccan imagination, and some of them are haunted by the issue of Al-Aqsa and live in it perhaps more than what the Arab lives in the East.

The interest of Moroccans in the Palestinian issue can be traced back to the era of the Moroccan national movement during the beginning of the French protectorate in Morocco, where the Moroccan national movement formed a link to follow up on what is happening in Palestine.

One of the results of this interest was that the poets wrote texts that keep pace with the Palestinian event, including the poet Hassan Al-Marani, who has more than one collection of poetry on Jerusalem, and says that “the Palestinian issue has become part of himself.”
