Morocco's normalisation with Israel is nothing new Moroccans protest the normalisation deal with Israel in Rabat, Morocco on 29 November 2020.

Serge Bardugo, the leader of Morocco's Jewish community, met with Israeli and American Jewish leaders specifically for this purpose. Meanwhile, Yassin Mansouri, the Director of Morocco's external intelligence agency (DGED) and a friend of the King, met with his Israeli counterpart Yossi Cohen, the head of Mossad.
