What will Morocco gain from renewing ties with Israel?
Morocco is joining three other Arab nations in establishing diplomatic ties with Israel. The Trump administration negotiated the four deals in what many are describing as a Quid Pro Quo style.
In the case of Morocco, normalisation came in exchange of a U-S proclamation of sovereignty.
The outgoing U.S. president recognised the Kingdom of Morocco's claim over the Western Sahara - fought over for decades by Morocco and the pro-indendence Polisario Front.
In one announcement he automatically sidelined the United Nations' efforts to resolve the dispute in that region.
But how does this boost Morocco's claim to this territory?
