Morocco Phosphate Waiver Bolsters Israel Ties

President Donald Trump's June 29 emergency waiver on Moroccan phosphate-fertilizer duties also strengthens the U.S.-Morocco-Israel alignment built through the Abraham Accords. The White House proclamation suspends certain anti-dumping and countervailing duties on phosphate fertilizer from Morocco for up to eight months, or until the fertilizer emergency ends, to protect American food supply. The move delivers immediate tariff relief after years of grower pressure. For Israel, a stronger Morocco means a steadier North African partner against Iranian influence and a practical reminder that normalization brings economic benefits.
