Israel’s National Security Council has issued travel warnings for four countries with which Israel maintains diplomatic relations: Turkey, Morocco, Jordan and Egypt, reports the Times of Israel.

Against the backdrop of the war waged by Israel on the Gaza Strip, which has left at least 31,000 Palestinians dead, the authority explains that ‘global jihadist organizations’ are increasingly attempting to carry out lone-wolf attacks, which would target Jews and Israelis.

“The potential for terrorist threats against Israelis and Jews more than five months after the start of the war is extremely high,” said the Israeli Security Council.

The travel advisory comes ahead of the Jewish holiday of Pesach, celebrated on the 15th day of the Hebrew month of Nissan, which often corresponds to April.

As of January, a Palestinian support group said that Morocco witnessed over 130 demonstrations in 66 cities, to denounce the continued bombing of Gaza and the official international and Arab silence around the war.

The protesters demanded stopping the normalization agreements with Israel, taking a clear position in support of the Palestinian people, and stopping the bombing.

The demonstrators raised banners and expressions denouncing the assassination of resistance leaders abroad, led by Hamas leader Saleh Al-Arouri.

The Moroccan Government has reaffirmed on multiple occasions its firm and clear position under the leadership of King Mohammed VI in supporting g the Palestinian cause, and that since October 7.

Morocco reiterated its adherence to a peace settlement based on the two-state solution to establish a just and lasting peace in the Middle East, in addition to deploying humanitarian aid through a ground route on March 7, to benefit war affected Gazans in the strip ahead of Ramadan.
