On June 20, 2026, a sit-in protest took place in Tangier, Morocco, against the participation of an Israeli delegation in a sailing championship. The protest was organized by local activists and groups opposed to normalization with Israel.
According to reports, the Israeli team was set to compete in an international sailing event held in the city. The protestors gathered near the venue, chanting slogans and holding signs condemning Israel's policies and the normalization of ties.
Morocco normalized relations with Israel in 2020 as part of the Abraham Accords, but public opposition remains, particularly in the context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The sit-in was peaceful, and no major incidents were reported.
The sailing championship continued as scheduled, with security forces present to maintain order. The Israeli delegation participated in the event despite the protests.
