Israel and Morocco agree to upgrade their diplomatic relationship by opening embassies in each other’s countries. The decision follows talks between their foreign ministers and a U.S. envoy linked to U.N. diplomacy in New York, with both sides saying they will raise the status of their missions and appoint ambassadors.
The agreement comes in the context of normalization. Both countries established diplomatic ties in 2020 under the U.S.-brokered Abraham Accords framework, which led to improved relations between Israel and several Arab states. Outlets also report that the deal includes efforts beyond diplomacy, with both sides discussing expanded air travel and the resumption of direct commercial flights.
