Great news! Blessed are the peacemakers! Bravo President Trump! Happy Hanukkah!
In my previous blog posts about the Abraham Accords, I did not give much credit to Benjamin Netanyahu, although without this extraordinary Israeli Prime Minister these agreements would probably not have happened.
Not sure what the Western Sahara part of the deal means going forward! However, this may also finally contribute to resolve a decades long lasting conflict.
"Israel and Morocco agreed to normalize relations, President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Thursday, marking another advance in U.S. efforts to strengthen ties between once-hostile nations in the region.
The U.S.-brokered deal was the fourth in four months between Israel and Arab countries that have refused to recognize the nation since it was created in 1948.
Under the deal, which Mr. Trump hailed on Twitter as a “historic breakthrough,” the U.S. agreed to recognize Morocco’s sovereignty over Western Sahara, a contested region controlled by the North African nation where militants have long sought to create an independent state.
“This will be a very warm peace,” Mr. Netanyahu said on Thursday, adding that Israel and Morocco would quickly set up liaison offices and introduce direct flights between the two countries."
