Thousands protested Sunday in Morocco against a planned conference in Bahrain where the economic component of a US-led plan for peace between Israel and the Palestinians is set to be unveiled. Demonstrators gathered in the capital Rabat burned an Israeli flag near Morocco's parliament and shouted "Death to Israel!" and "Death to the United States!"
The economic aspects of the US plan - dubbed the Peace to Prosperity workshop - are set to be discussed by attendees at a meeting in Manama on Tuesday and Wednesday. Other slogans decried "Arab traitor regimes" for planning to attend the conference, including Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
