I've Been Thinking:
Morocco is the fourth Arab nation to announce normalization with Israel.
Over the past three decades Israel and Morocco have had secret relations - especially in the areas of security, terror and even foreign relations.
Despite all that, there has been serious blow back against the move to normalization. In Morocco and throughout the Arab world there is talk that normalization is an abandonment of the Palestinians and that following Donald Trump’s lead is a real mistake.
There is no way of knowing what the numbers are, of how many Moroccans support or reject normalization in Morocco. Morocco is not a democracy.
However, it is clear that the move will help concretize and increase relations with Israel and that those interactions that have been in place for decades.
Naysayers are exaggerating the damage that will be done and underestimating the benefits to Morocco.
