Morocco, Israel upgrade ties to full embassies; US reaffirms Western Sahara stance

Morocco and Israel, with US backing, announced upgrading diplomatic representation to full embassies, exchanging ambassadors, and resuming direct flights by year-end. The US reiterated recognition of Moroccan sovereignty over Western Sahara, a reversal of prior US policy. This consolidates the US-brokered normalization under the Abraham Accords, potentially shifting regional alignments and affecting Algeria's and the Polisario Front's positions.
