On Feb. 9, the broad, sunny boulevard running through the center of Rabat, Morocco, overflowed with protesters. Crowded between newly whitewashed facades and an imposing parade of palm trees, they numbered well over 10,000 (one attendee estimated tens of thousands).
Adorned with Palestinian keffiyehs and images of Jerusalem’s Al-Aqsa mosque, this mass of Moroccans had come out to condemn US President Donald Trump’s “deal of the century” peace plan that Palestinians see as inflammatory.
