A planned Jewish-Muslim conference in Casablanca, Morocco, has been cancelled due to concerns about public sentiment. The conference, which was expected to draw officials from both Israel and Morocco, was called off amid ongoing protests in Morocco against Israeli war on Gaza.
At the height of the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip, a Moroccan delegation visited the Hebrew state and met with a number of officials. A visit that sparked widespread criticism in the kingdom.
Trade between Morocco and Israel increased by 64% during the first five months of 2024, even as tensions remained high following the Israeli war on Gaza in October 2023.
