Morocco and Israel raise their relations at the level of embassies, five years after the rapprochement
In December 2020, under the Abraham Agreements, Morocco resumed relations with Israel, which had been interrupted since the second intifada. In return, Trump recognized Moroccan sovereignty over Western Sahara. In 2021, Royal Air Maroc opened the direct flight Casablanca- Tel Aviv, suspended following the Hamas attack in 2023. Despite the war in Gaza, relations made progress, and on 17 September both countries agreed to raise them to the level of embassies.
