Overview

  • Tens of thousands of Moroccans gathered in Rabat on April 6, 2025, in one of the largest pro-Palestinian demonstrations in months.
  • Protesters condemned Israel's renewed military offensive in Gaza, which has killed over 1,330 Palestinians since March and over 50,000 since October 2023.
  • Anger was directed at U.S. President Donald Trump, particularly over his proposal to forcibly relocate Palestinians for Gaza redevelopment, which protesters labeled as ethnic cleansing.
  • Demonstrators called for Morocco to sever ties with Israel, established under the 2020 Abraham Accords, describing the normalization as a betrayal.
  • The protests in Morocco are part of a broader wave of pro-Palestinian demonstrations across the Middle East and North Africa, reflecting widespread outrage over the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
