Trump’s advisor for the Middle-east Steve Witkoff said on Monday that the U.S. administration is working on a peace agreement between Morocco and Algeria.
“There will be a peace agreement, in my opinion, within 60 days”, announced Mr. Witkoff on CBS’s “60 Minutes Overtime” TV program in presence of Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law.
During the interview, Witkoff and Jared were responding to questions on issues related to peace talks in the Middle-East. Steve Witkoff, said his “team is working on a peace agreement between Morocco and Algeria at the moment. There will be a peace agreement, in my opinion, within 60 days”, he underlined.
The announcement comes few days after the statement made by U.S. senior advisor for Africa Massad Boulos saying that the Algerian regime wants to improve relations with Morocco and settle definitively the Sahara conflict.
In New York, a draft resolution, distributed by the United States to UN Security Council members, describes Morocco’s autonomy plan as the ONLY realist and feasible solution to the Sahara issue, dealing a hard blow to the Algerian junta and its Polisario puppets.
Washington is supported by Paris and London. Moscow is also signaling support for the Moroccan Autonomy offered for the Sahara under the Kingdom’s sovereignty. China, the 5th permanent member of UN Security Council, backs Morocco’s territorial integrity. It is very likely that Beijing will align its position with others superpowers to end this decades-long conflict.
