“For Israel, and for me personally, this is not just another agreement in a series of Israeli-Arab agreements,” said Israeli Ambassador Mike Herzog. “This new chapter in our special relationship goes much deeper than aligned geopolitical interests.”
“Together, we can advance our shared vision for a peaceful, thriving, and stable region,” he said, adding, “I strongly believe that the relations between us, as well as the relations between Jews and Muslims at large, could make a significant contribution in this respect.”
Morocco’s ambassador in the US Princess Lalla Joumala said “under the stewardship of his majesty the King Mohammed VI a bold step was taken a year ago, to re-establish diplomatic ties with Israel and open a new chapter in our bilateral relations.”
Morocco announced on December 10, 2020, the restoration of diplomatic ties with Israel, as part of a trilateral agreement involving the US.
Both countries signed bilateral agreements of common interest in different fields, including diplomacy, trade, air service, and culture.
