Morocco and Israel Expand Ties
Israel and Morocco are working to elevate their diplomatic relations, having agreed to transform the Israeli liaison office in Rabat into a full embassy and to appoint ambassadors. This marks a shift from a liaison office arrangement to full diplomatic representation. They also agreed to finalize two economic agreements before the end of 2026, which will cover investment protection and the prevention of double taxation, aiming to facilitate trade and investment flows between the two countries. Additionally, the scope of direct flights will be expanded to include Moroccan airlines, following the resumption of flights between Israel and Morocco during the summer as part of steps to strengthen economic cooperation and complete normalization between the two nations. These measures are part of a process that began in 2020, after the resumption of diplomatic relations under American sponsorship, culminating in Israel's recognition of Moroccan sovereignty over Western Sahara in July 2023.
