Israel and Morocco agree to open embassies after New York talks
Israel and Morocco agreed on Wednesday to open embassies in each other’s countries following talks between their foreign ministers and the US ambassador to the United Nations in New York. The two countries established diplomatic ties in 2020 under the US-brokered Abraham Accords, which normalised Israel’s relations with several Arab states.
Israel and Morocco have reached an agreement to strengthen their diplomatic relations, as announced by the official Arabic-language account of Israel on X. This development comes after a high-level meeting at a tripartite summit in New York, hosted by US Ambassador to the UN Mike Waltz.
During the summit, Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar and his Moroccan counterpart, Nasser Bourita, reaffirmed their commitment to a series of actions aimed at elevating ties between the two nations. The agreement also includes measures to facilitate mutual investment and boost economic and trade relations.
In addition to these steps, Israel and Morocco have agreed to enhance air travel between their countries. The historic three-way summit in New York saw the participation of Israeli, Moroccan, and US diplomats, marking a significant step in the enhancement of diplomatic relations between Israel and Morocco.
