Moroccan Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita confirmed that Rabat had taken the decision to normalise relations with the occupation "out of conviction" and will go as far as possible in developing bilateral cooperation with Israel. Regarding relations with Iran, the Moroccan official asserted: "We, as allies, need to coordinate work to confront Iranian threats related to nuclear activities. "Iran has threatened the territorial integrity and security of Morocco by supporting, training and arming the Polisario militias. On 10 December, Morocco and the Israeli occupation state announced the resumption of diplomatic relations, which were suspended in 2000. It became the fourth Arab state to build ties with the occupation state last year.
