On 14 March 2025, at the call of the Working Group for Palestine, dozens of protesters gathered in front of the Parliament in Rabat (Rabat, Rabat-Sale-Kenitra) to demand the entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza and express solidarity with the Palestinian people. They also denounced Israeli occupation and Morocco's normalization with Israel.

Supply-chain Risk Briefing

Summary On March 14, 2025, a peaceful solidarity demonstration for Palestine occurred in front of the Parliament building in Rabat, Morocco. This was a small-scale peaceful protest involving dozens of participants, presenting a low level of immediate risk to supply chains.

Supply-chain impact

• Port operations: Rabat is an inland city not directly connected to major port facilities, limiting immediate impact on maritime logistics
• Land transportation: Possible temporary traffic congestion around the Parliament area, but minimal logistics disruption due to distance from major freight routes and industrial zones
• Political risk: As protests opposing normalization of relations with Israel, this could act as a political pressure factor on future trade or investment cooperation between Israel and Morocco
• Regional stability: Low risk of social instability within Morocco or widespread protest expansion due to the peaceful nature of this small-scale demonstration

Watch points

• Need to track whether the frequency and scale of Israel-related protest demonstrations within Morocco are expanding
• Monitor potential spread of protests to major transportation routes along the Rabat-Casablanca economic corridor
• Observe trends in intensifying political pressure on Morocco-Israel economic cooperation projects
