Israel and Morocco have agreed to upgrade diplomatic ties, including by opening embassies and appointing ambassadors to each other’s countries, says the Israeli government.


The agreement was made during a meeting in New York between Israel’s Foreign Minister Gideon Saar, Morocco’s Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita and US Ambassador to the UN Mike Walz, according to a statement on the Israeli government’s official Arabic-language X account.

Israel and Morocco also agreed to expand flight operations between them and finalise a deal on investment protection, said the Israeli government statement.

Morocco first agreed to normalise ties with Israel back in December 2020 under the US-brokered Abraham Accords, reports AL Jazeera.
