Israel and Morocco have agreed to upgrade their diplomatic relations by elevating their respective liaison offices to full embassies and appointing ambassadors. This decision follows a trilateral meeting in New York involving Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar, Moroccan Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita, and U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz. The agreement, which aligns with the Abraham Accords, includes plans to expand direct air travel between the two nations by the end of 2026, including flights operated by Moroccan airlines. Both countries also aim to finalize agreements regarding investment protection and the avoidance of double taxation to strengthen economic and trade ties. Additionally, the nations have committed to signing economic agreements focused on the technology and security sectors, with plans to conclude these new economic agreements before the end of 2026.
