In Morocco, the “Moroccan Coordination of Doctors for Palestine” has called for a protest in front of Marrakech’s Koutoubia Mosque at 21:30.
In Syria, a protest is slated to be held at Damascus’s Umayyad Square at 15:00. Activists will also denounce Israeli airstrikes in Syria in recent weeks.
In Turkey, the “Resistance Tent” activist group is scheduled to hold a protest march from Istanbul’s Fatih Mosque to Sarachane Park. The march will commence following Friday prayers, which are scheduled to take place at around 13:16.

Those operating or residing across the MENA on March 28 are advised to maintain heightened vigilance around designated venues due to the risk of slated protests.
Westerners should keep a low profile as an increase in anti-Western sentiments is often recorded on al-Quds Day, especially towards the US.
As a general precaution, maintain heightened vigilance in the vicinity of Western diplomatic missions.
