Israel's Strategic Relations with Morocco and Spain's Political Dynamics
Israel is navigating complex diplomatic relationships with Morocco and Spain, each presenting unique challenges and opportunities. Morocco, while officially warm towards Israel, maintains a society largely hostile to normalization, with the government expressing critical views on Israeli actions in Gaza and the West Bank. This relationship is strategic, with Morocco benefiting from U.S. recognition of its sovereignty over Western Sahara and access to Israeli defense technology. Conversely, Spain, under Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, has been notably hostile towards Israel, though this stance is contested by opposition parties and civil society. The political landscape in Spain could shift with future elections, potentially altering its foreign policy towards Israel.
