In a significant diplomatic development a day after the sixth anniversary of the Abraham Accords, Israel's Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar convened with his Moroccan counterpart, Nasser Bourita, in the United States. This pivotal meeting, hosted by Mike Waltz, the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, took place in New York and was centered on enhancing the bilateral relationship between Israel and Morocco, as highlighted by the Israeli Foreign Ministry.
During their discussions, Sa’ar and Bourita reached a consensus on several key agreements aimed at elevating their diplomatic engagement. They have decided to appoint ambassadors and transform their diplomatic missions into full-fledged embassies, a move that represents a significant advancement in their diplomatic relations. Furthermore, the two ministers agreed to facilitate an increase in flight connections between their countries and to organize high-level visits in the upcoming months. They also plan to introduce investment and tax agreements by the end of this year, marking a robust commitment to strengthening economic ties.
The previous day, Waltz hosted an event at his residence commemorating the anniversary of the Abraham Accords, attended by officials from other signatory nations, including the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Kazakhstan, which is a more recent addition to the accords. Sa’ar emphasized the deep-rooted friendship between the Moroccan and Jewish peoples, stating, “The declaration we signed today outlines practical ways to upgrade ties between Israel and Morocco for the benefit of both peoples, and we will work to implement it.”
