Last month, Morocco signed an agreement, brokered in 2020 by the Trump administration of former US President Donald Trump, with Israel, like the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Sudan.

Since the visit of an Israeli-American delegation to Morocco in December and the signing of a Joint Declaration between the three countries, normalization between Morocco and Israel has advanced at high speed, with bilateral and multilateral meetings between ministers from the two governments.
