Rabat rises the stakes on Western Sahara 26/01/2021
In exchange for appeasing Israel, Morocco had its claims on Western Sahara acknowledged by Trump. Algeria (among others) objects.
In exchange for formalizing ties with Israel, on December 10, 2020 the outgoing US President Donald Trump recognized Morocco’s sovereignty over Western Sahara, a strategic territory mostly controlled by Rabat but claimed by the Algeria-backed Polisario Front, an independence movement representing the Sahrawi population.
Morocco and Israel have shared informal ties for decades. Their security and intelligence cooperation is partly based on Israel hosting Morocco’s largest Jewish diaspora.
It’s thus misleading to interpret the normalization agreement between the two countries as a peace treaty or a new relation of sorts.
