GIL FONS, Antonio. The relation between the Kingdom of Morocco and the state of Israel: a pragmatic and longstanding geopolitical cooperation. Foro int [online]. 2023, vol.63, n.3, pp.493-537.  Epub 08-Set-2023. ISSN 0185-013X.  https://doi.org/10.24201/fi.v63i3.2908.

The establishment of official diplomatic relations between the State of Israel and the Kingdom of Morocco in December 2020 is undoubtedly a significant event. However, it must be seen as a step forward within the context of wide-ranging pragmatic geopolitical cooperation between Tel Aviv and Rabat since the middle of the twentieth century. Considering this perspective, this article presents an analysis using the neoclassical realism approach to relations between Israelis and Moroccans, which have made the North African country one of the most notable actors in Israel’s peripheral strategy to streng then its national security.
