    1. This is likely about getting Morocco to recognize Israel. Trump has been pursuing quid-pro-quo deals with govts of Arab nations to trade various US foreign policy actions they want in exchange for recognition -- most recently by delisting Sudan as a state sponsor of terrorism. @realDonaldTrump/1337067127455539201

      Buying off Arab govts to say they recognize Israel despite opposition by their general populace seems unstable. W/out genuine change of heart, the govts can pocket these inducements & then just withdraw recognition in protest the next time Israel cracks down in Gaza or whatever.
