Social media users shared images of street signs in the municipality of Azghanghan, in Nador province, bearing the names of Palestinian cities such as Hebron, Jenin and Ramallah.
The naming sparked debate as Morocco has resumed diplomatic ties with Israel, with some reading it as a symbolic gesture of support for the Palestinian cause.
An informed source denied any political dimension contrary to state policy, saying local managers had not anticipated the reaction.
The source noted other streets named after non-Palestinian Arab cities, such as Sanaa Street.
Some critics call the timing ill-judged, while a third view sees a broader cultural choice.
