Morocco Becomes The Fourth Country To Normalize Ties With Israel

BBC: Morocco latest country to normalise ties with Israel in US-brokered deal

Morocco has become the latest Arab League country to agree to normalize relations with Israel in a deal brokered with US help.

As part of the deal, the US has agreed to recognize Morocco's claim over the disputed Western Sahara region.

It is the subject of a dispute between Morocco and the Algeria-backed Polisario Front, which has been seeking to establish an independent state.

Morocco is the fourth state to make such a deal with Israel since August. Agreements have also been struck recently with the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Sudan.

Along with Egypt and Jordan, Morocco becomes the sixth Arab League member to normalise ties with Israel.
