| That damn Trump and his peace efforts [JPost] Morocco has enjoyed bilateral benefits from Washington with US recognition of its sovereignty over Western Sahara. The cabinet approved Israel’s normalization agreement with Morocco in a unanimous vote on Sunday. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the agreement "a historic moment after four peace agreements with four Muslim and Arab states in four months" and praised King Mohammed VI. "Together we are advancing direct flights between the countries," he said. "It will happen soon — economic, trade, technological cooperation and the opening of missions in both countries." Netanyahu also congratulated US President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris on entering office and said he expects to work with them "to strengthen the strong alliance between Israel and the US even more and expand the circle of peace between Israel and the Arab world for a real new Middle East and, of course, to deal with our shared challenges, foremost of which is the Iranian threat." Defense Minister Benny Gantz congratulated King Mohammed VI "for his bold leadership." |
