Morocco hasn't recognized Israel yet and probably won't after the Biden Administration repudiates Trump's meaningless executive order re: Western Sahara. If Israel wants more international recognition it might could stop treating its Arab citizens like Blacks were treated in the US South during segregation.
I already said in my first pst that Israel should treat the Palestininans better. Also, is the Arab/Muslim nations' disapproval relly about their treatment of the Palestinians? They've literally hated Israel since it was created.
It is not about the Palestinian Arabs. It maybe never was. The Arab leaders needed an external enemy.
Actually ironically the Arab leaders, and even current Iranian leaders benefit from Israel existing but being in conflict with the Arab Palestinians.
If the conflict ended, how would they distract their populace from domestic troubles?
The reason many Arab states are shifting gears is they have Iran as the external enemy to unite their people against, so they no longer need Israel for that purpose.
And they can gain more from Israel as a friend vs Israel as an enemy now. Iran is the bigger threat.
It is a cynical realpolitik cost benefit analysis. Not about “solidarity” or whatever propaganda BS.
