The new US administration, led by president-elect Joe Bide, gave yesterday, first signs that it would keep the US decision to recognize the Moroccan sovereignty over Sahara, the recognition that was taken and signed by the outgoing president Donald Trump last December.
According to the White House website, the National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan spoke by phone on Saturday with Israeli National Security Advisor Meir Ben Shabbat, pointing out that They discussed opportunities to enhance the partnership over the coming months, including by building on the success of Israel's normalization arrangements with UAE, Bahrain, Sudan, and Morocco.
The peace agreement signed between Morocco and Israel last December includes the United States' recognition of the Moroccan sovereignty over Sahara. Any American retreat from the recognition's decision could affect the peace agreement between Morocco and Israel.
According to what the US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said to his Israeli counterpart, it seems that is unlikely to be there any US retreat from the decision taken regarding the Moroccan sovereignty over Sahara, which means a huge success for Moroccan diplomacy in recent years.
This positive sign for Moroccans goes with what former US ambassador to Morocco, David Fischer, said in an Interview with Assahifa English on the eve of the end of his duties in Morocco. He asserted that The US- Morocco relation under the Biden administration would be in good hands.
Fischer ruled out the possibility that the US could withdraw the decision of recognition of Morocco's sovereignty over the Sahara and said that the bilateral relations would be more powerful.
