Briefing reporters in Washington, Jared Kushner, the president’s senior adviser and son-in-law, said the agreement called for Morocco to open full diplomatic relations and formalise economic ties with Israel. “There have been strong ties between Morocco and the Jewish people throughout the entire modern era,” Netanyahu said. He predicted “a very warm peace,” given that Israel and Morocco have maintained some ties for more than half a century. Mohamed Daadaoui, a Moroccan academic, noted that Morocco and Israel already had economic, military and cultural ties. The Trump administration had long hoped Saudi Arabia would join the push for normalising relations with Israel.
