After the normalization of diplomatic relations between Morocco and Israel under the impetus of the United States on December 10, 2020, the two parties are working to strengthen their ties. During the two-day working visit of Yaïr Lapid, Israel’s foreign minister, to Morocco in August, the two countries had signed three new agreements to strengthen bilateral cooperation in the political, cultural, youth and sports and air services fields.

In the field of education, the International University of Rabat (UIR) in Rabat and Ben Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) in Israel signed a partnership in September. The two universities are committed to facilitating academic and scientific cooperation through joint research as well as teaching and student mobility in the fields of social and natural sciences, as well as the humanities.
