Morocco to normalise relations with Israel
US President Donald Trump has announced that Morocco has become the latest Arab state to normalise relations with Israel.
The announcement came after Mr Trump signed a proclamation recognising Moroccan sovereignty over Western Sahara.
Morocco has become the fourth country since August to sign a normalisation deal with Israel – in the wake of the UAE, Bahrain and Sudan.
There has been a territorial dispute over Western Sahara for decades pitting Morocco against the Polisario Front.
The African Union recognises Polisario as the territory’s government.
