Morocco said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu backs its claim to the disputed coastal territory of Western Sahara, a move that may help enhance relations following the US-brokered restoration of ties three years ago.
The announcement by King Mohammed VI’s cabinet in Morocco — reported by state news agency MAP on Monday — also suggested Israel views “positively” the opening of a consulate in the Western Saharan city of Dakhla.
