His statements, made in Gabes, reflect the movement's stance on the ongoing conflict in Gaza and its wider implications.

According to Agence Tunis Afrique Presse, who spoke to journalists during a meeting with the movement's advocates in Gabes, the current battle in Gaza is significant and demands global involvement. He lauded the resilience of the Gazan people and their determination to reclaim their lands.

Regarding the draft law criminalizing normalization with Israel, Maghzaoui criticized the Tunisian Assembly of People's Representatives for violating its own laws and internal regulations.
