Israel and Morocco Strengthen Ties with Mutual Recognition and Appointments
TL;DR
Israel has officially recognized Moroccan sovereignty over the disputed territory of Western Sahara, according to a letter from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to King Mohammed VI. This move comes after the United States recognized Morocco's claim to the territory in exchange for its partial upgrade of relations with Israel. Morocco hopes that Israel's recognition will encourage investments in the region, while maintaining its commitment to the two-state solution for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
