Morocco and Israel have announced the imminent opening of embassies on their respective territories, a decision described as "historic" but one that is generating opposition within the kingdom, according to Le Monde.

Since the restoration of their official relations in 2020, the two countries have only had liaison offices on either side, the newspaper notes. The shift to full-fledged embassies would thus mark more complete diplomatic normalization between Rabat and Jerusalem.

However, no specifics were provided regarding the precise timeline for opening these new diplomatic missions, Le Monde notes, leaving uncertain the date when this change in diplomatic status will take effect.

This announcement comes amid strong reactions in Morocco, where it is being presented as contested, though the source provides no further details on the nature or extent of this internal opposition.
