Morocco is deepening its military cooperation with Israel, driven by the 2020 Abraham Accords and regional rivalries with Algeria. Israel has emerged as a major arms supplier to Morocco, providing approximately 24% of its imports, following the United States. This defense partnership focuses on advanced technologies such as drones, radar, air defense, electronic warfare, and precision fires.

This cooperation has been institutionalized through a 2021 Memorandum of Understanding that covers military training and intelligence sharing. As Morocco seeks to acquire additional Israeli-made defense systems, the relationship continues to evolve as a central component of the nation’s military modernization efforts.
