In late September 2026, widespread protests erupted across Morocco in response to the decision to upgrade diplomatic relations between Morocco and Israel to full embassies. The agreement, announced following a trilateral meeting in New York involving Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar, Moroccan Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita, and U.S. Ambassador to the UN Mike Waltz, builds upon the 2020 Abraham Accords. As part of this diplomatic advancement, both nations plan to expand air links and finalize economic treaties, including investment protection and double-taxation avoidance, by the end of 2026. Demonstrations have spread to major cities including Rabat, Casablanca, Marrakesh, Tangier, and Fez. Organized by groups such as the Moroccan Front for Support of Palestine and Against Normalization, protesters have demanded that the Moroccan state halt the normalization process and close the Israeli liaison office. In Casablanca, activists chanted slogans such as ‘Ni ambassadeur, ni ambassade’ (Neither ambassador, nor embassy).
