Morocco's monarch, Mohammed VI, invited Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, to visit the country, according to Israeli media reports.

Mohammed VI sent a personal message to Netanyahu, thanking him for his government's recognition of Moroccan sovereignty over Western Sahara, adding that the visit will "open new opportunities for strengthening the ties between our nations," according to the Israeli i24NEWS website.

The king also stressed the importance of opening an Israeli consulate in the city of Dakhla which is located in the Western Sahara saying that Netanyahu's decision is "right and far-sighted."

Israeli media outlets report that the head of the Israeli National Security Council, Tzachi Hanegbi, and the Moroccan Foreign Minister, Nasser Bourita, agreed to set a date for the Israeli Prime Minister's visit to Morroco.

In December 2020, Netanyahu invited the Moroccan king to visit "Israel" during a telephone call. Back then the two officials signed cooperation agreements in the presence of representatives of the United States.

On July 10, the Moroccan Royal Office announced that the Israeli occupation recognized the sovereignty of Morocco over Western Sahara, state-run Moroccan news agency MAP reported.

According to the news agency, Moroccan King Mohammed VI received a letter from Israeli occupation Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in which the latter announced "Israel's" decision to "recognize the sovereignty of Morocco over the territory of Western Sahara."

In his letter, Netanyahu indicated that the decision would be "transmitted to the United Nations, to regional and international organizations of which Israel is a member, and to all countries with which Israel maintains diplomatic relations."

Morocco is the fourth Arab state to formally normalize relations with "Israel" behind Egypt, the UAE, and Bahrain.

It is worth noting that, earlier in June, Morocco's Foreign Minister announced the postponement of a summit gathering of the signatories to the so-called "Abraham Accords", which had been planned in Morocco this summer.

Bourita pointed out that the decision to postpone the so-called Al-Naqab Summit came as a result of agenda issues and an unfavorable political climate of "provocative and unilateral acts" that "undermine peace efforts in the region."
