Morocco-Israel : Is opening of embassies the «natural next step» of normalization ?

The opening of embassies would be the «natural next step» of the normalization agreement signed between Israel and Morocco, according to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Israeli officials told AXIOS that King Mohammed VI told Netanyahu during their phone call last week that «he was committed to opening embassies as part of the next phase of the process».

In December, a US-Israeli delegation headed by White House Special Advisor Jared Kushner and Israeli National Security Adviser Meir Ben-Shabbat visited Rabat to sign a joint agreement.

Rabat and Tel Aviv promised to reopen liaison offices and a Moroccan delegation visited Israel for that reason a week later.
