President Donald Trump announced on Dec. 10 that Israel and Morocco have agreed to restore full diplomatic relations in a White House-brokered deal, which also involved formal U.S. recognition of Moroccan sovereignty over Western Sahara.

Trump sealed the agreement in a phone call with Morocco’s King Mohammed VI on Dec. 10, the White House said, making Morocco the fourth Arab country to set aside hostilities with Israel in the past four months.
