EventAs of Oct. 22, pro-Palestinian rallies in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region are likely to continue through late October, and may escalate in response to developments in the conflict between Israel and Hamas. Additionally, protest activity will likely surge across the region on Fridays, including on Oct. 27. Allies of Israel, including states with no official relations, such as Saudi Arabia, have condemned the attack, while supporters of Hamas, including Iran and Hizballah, have welcomed it. Exercise heightened caution near all likely protest sites and on likely protest days. Plan for localized road transport delays near protest sites.
