US Assistant Secretary for Near Eastern Affairs David Schenker announced on Friday that the possibility of recognising Moroccan sovereignty over the Western Sahara by the US, in exchange for Morocco's normalising of ties with Israel: "Is not on the table at the moment."
In statements to the press circulated by the US State Department, Schenker conveyed that he would not reveal: "The nature of the US diplomatic discussions with these countries. I know that there were several reports earlier this year, and last year, but the issue is not currently on the table."
Schenker refused to go into detail regarding the US F-35 aircraft deal with the United Arab Emirates (UAE). He only repeated previous statements, such as: "The United States government is bound by legal requirements regarding Israel's qualitative military advantage, and the US administration will continue to adhere to this requirement."
