US President Donald Trump has announced that Morocco has become the latest Arab state to normalise relations with Israel.

The announcement came after Mr Trump signed a proclamation recognising Moroccan sovereignty over Western Sahara.

Morocco has become the fourth country since August to sign a normalisation deal with Israel - in the wake of the UAE, Bahrain and Sudan.

There has been a territorial dispute over Western Sahara for decades pitting Morocco against the Polisario Front.

The African Union recognises Polisario as the territory's government.
