Abstract:
Morocco has maintained open channels with Israel for many years, and it values the unique Jewish contribution to its heritage. A new pattern of normalization with Israel now extends from the Atlantic to the Gulf.

Israel now should give this breakthrough a firm grounding in policies beneficial to both peoples.
