Greater Miami Jewish Federation Lauds Establishment of Full Diplomatic Ties Between Israel and Morocco

The Greater Miami Jewish Federation and its Jewish Community Relations Council laud the growing trend in 2020 of the State of Israel normalizing full diplomatic ties with Muslim-majority countries, most recently the Kingdom of Morocco as announced today by President Donald Trump and confirmed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. This agreement, the fourth of its kind this year, is a sign of ongoing rapprochement in the region and broad recognition that harmonious ties with Israel, the lone democracy in the Middle East, will further stabilize the region and bring additional peace and prosperity for all parties involved.

We thank President Trump, Prime Minister Netanyahu, and Morocco’s King Mohammed VI for their continued pursuit of diplomacy. As we enter the first night of Chanukah, we are grateful for this extra light and hope spreading throughout the world.
