AI Summary:
Activists are urging Moroccan port officials to try to block ships carrying military cargo to Israel. Protests often target Danish shipping company Maersk. A similar boycott campaign landed Lghazaoui in prison last year. Tens of thousands have taken to the streets of Morocco since the war began. Some have burned Israeli flags or chanted against royal adviser André Azoulay. Morocco’s constitution generally allows for freedom of expression. Activists and port workers recently demanded that two vessels crossing the Atlantic be blocked from docking in Morocco. Dozens of religious scholars and preachers issued an edict with a similar message. Morocco’s largest labor union backed the call to block the two ships. Foreign Ministry did not respond to questions about normalization or its port policies. Some observers in Morocco have questioned whether the focus on Gaza has diverted attention from pressing domestic struggles. Voices from Moroccan nationalist circles on social media have instead highlighted the marginalization of the Indigenous Amazigh population and the dispute over Western Sahara.
