Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar, Moroccan Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita, and US Ambassador to the UN Mike Waltz met this evening and agreed to upgrade bilateral relations between Israel and Morocco and advance the Abraham Accords, according to reports.
Tonight, Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar, Moroccan Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita, and US Ambassador to the UN Mike Waltz held a trilateral meeting and agreed to upgrade bilateral relations between Israel and Morocco and to advance the Abraham Accords, according to reports. The meeting follows earlier announcements that Israel and Morocco had agreed to mutually open embassies and increase direct flights.
At 21:35 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported that Israel and Morocco formally agreed to open embassies, and that the trilateral understanding includes raising diplomatic representation to embassy level and increasing direct flights. Those steps were confirmed in official statements from the Israeli foreign ministry.
The Abraham Accords, brokered by the Trump administration in 2020, include the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Sudan, and Morocco. The involvement of the US ambassador to the UN underscores Washington's continued commitment to the normalization framework. As The Zioneer has reported, Morocco holds a unique strategic position as a moderate Arab monarchy with deep historical ties to Israel.
No specific timeline or further details on the upgraded relations were disclosed. It remains unclear what additional steps will follow the embassy opening and the advancement of the Accords.
