Morocco Faces Major Normalization Debate
On September 16, 2026, New York City witnessed the signing of a tripartite agreement between Morocco, Israel, and the United States to elevate the level of diplomatic representation between the countries to the level of embassies and to exchange ambassadors. This move has sparked controversy within Morocco. This development comes at a time when Morocco is facing internal debate over normalization with Israel, with supporters of normalization mocking pro-Palestinian advocates by calling them "Koviyun" (Coffees) sarcastically. The ongoing discussion centers around the use of the Palestinian cause for political and electoral purposes. While Morocco maintains its historical stance of supporting the Palestinian cause, with many political figures and official positions endorsing Palestine, the timing and controversy surrounding normalization coincide with legislative elections showing divergent political orientations. This raises questions about the extent to which this step is being used for political purposes.
