CAIRO — Morocco has recently joined the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Sudan in normalizing relations with Israel. The agreement to normalize relations between Israel and Morocco, which the White House announced on Dec. 10, sparked the interest of Arab countries in the Middle East, namely Egypt.
President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi was one of the first Arab leaders to support the agreement. Officially commenting on the deal, Sisi tweeted on Dec. 10, “I followed up on the important development represented in the US-sponsored Morocco-Israel normalization agreement with great interest. I value this step since it achieves regional stability and cooperation.”
