Thousands Protest in Morocco Against Ties with Israel

Thousands of Moroccans have taken to the streets of Rabat calling for an end to ties with Israel, over its actions in Gaza. Some waved placards saying “stop the massacre” and “normalisation is treason” during Sunday’s march.

Politicians from across the spectrum are reported to have been among the crowds. Morocco established diplomatic ties with Israel in 2020 under the US-brokered Abraham Accords. As part of the deal, Rabat received Washington’s recognition of its claim to sovereignty over the disputed territory of Western Sahara. Opposition to the agreement has grown sharply since the start of the war in Gaza.
