Morocco joins Abraham Accords in deal with Israel

Morocco has agreed to normalize diplomatic relations with Israel, bringing a third nation into the bloc of Arab-Israeli deals known as the Abraham Accords.

“This has been held back for so long by old thinking and by stalled process, and we finally had a breakthrough four months ago, and we’re continuing to push the region forward,” White House senior adviser Jared Kushner, President Trump’s son-in-law and point-man for Middle East issues, told reporters.
