NEW YORK, Dec. 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/ American Jewish Committee (AJC) applauded Morocco for its decision to establish full diplomatic relations with Israel. The North African country, a close ally of the United States and home to a Jewish community for more than 2,000 years, becomes the sixth Arab state to normalize relations with Israel – and the fourth since August.
Today s historic announcement of Moroccan-Israeli ties by President Donald J. Trump was coupled with a U.S. decision to recognize Moroccan sovereignty over the disputed Western Sahara region. AJC has long urged international acceptance of a proposal offered by His Majesty King Mohammed VI for limited autonomy in the region, under Moroccan sovereignty.
