Morocco has taken another major step in defence cooperation with Israel, signing a new joint military work plan for 2026 in Tel Aviv. The agreement deepens security ties five years after diplomatic relations were restored under the Abraham Accords, focusing on air defence systems, drones, surveillance, and military modernisation. Israel has become a key defence partner for Morocco, particularly in drone technology, while the United States continues to strengthen its strategic and military relationship with Rabat. However, the move risks increasing regional tensions, especially with Algeria, amid long-standing disputes over Western Sahara and shifting power dynamics across North Africa.
