Egypt has not relinquished its desire to lead the Arab world …

The road to the Israeli-Moroccan rapprochement
Morocco's relations with Israel are noted for their moderation and cordiality. With the exception of former Tunisia's President Habib Bourguiba, who called upon the Arab states to come to terms with Israel, King Hassan II was the only Arab head of state that favoured negotiations with the Jewish State. But unlike any other leader in the region, he agreed to meet Israeli leaders in an attempt to find a solution to the Arab‐Israeli conflict. Observ…
