Israel, Morocco agree to upgrade diplomatic ties, Israeli government says
The countries will elevate liaison offices to embassies, add Moroccan-operated flights and finish investment and tax agreements by the end of 2026, officials said.
- On Wednesday, Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar, Moroccan Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita, and United States Ambassador Mike Waltz met in New York, agreeing to elevate diplomatic missions to full embassies and exchange ambassadors.
- This upgrade follows the 2020 resumption of ties under a US-brokered agreement, though Morocco maintains this represents a continuation of bilateral relations rather than formal membership in the Abraham Accords.
- The three nations also reaffirmed recognition of Moroccan sovereignty over Western Sahara and pledged to finalize investment protection and double taxation agreements by 2026 to facilitate mutual commercial ties.
- Moroccan airlines are expected to resume direct flights to Israel in the coming weeks, while officials agreed to organize reciprocal high-level visits to solidify the partnership.
- These efforts mark a shift from the limited liaison-level status maintained since 1994, when Rabat suspended ties during the second intifada, signaling a departure from previous diplomatic constraints.
