FRANCE 24 spoke to Hicham El Alaoui, King of Morocco Mohammed VI’s cousin and lecturer at the University of Berkeley in California. He is the author of "Pacted Democracy in the Middle East: Tunisia and Egypt in Comparative Perspective", a comparative study of two countries during the Arab Spring. Turning to the war led by the IDF in Gaza for over a year, Alaoui believes the Arab normalisation with Israel poses a “problem”. Morocco, as well as the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Bahrain normalised relations with Israel in 2020, followed by Sudan in 2021.
