More than 1,000 protesters marched in Tangiers on Sunday against the expected arrival of a Maersk ship allegedly carrying F-35 fighter jet parts from the United States to Israel, AFP reported. Demonstrators called for the vessel to be denied entry and for Morocco to sever ties with Israel, which were normalised in 2020. Maersk declined comment but has previously acknowledged transporting military-related cargo under a U.S. contract.
