UK backs Morocco's Western Sahara autonomy plan in shift likely to anger Algeria
Britain's Foreign Secretary David Lammy has declared the UK's support for Morocco's 2007 autonomy proposal for Western Sahara, marking a significant diplomatic shift likely to deepen tensions with Algeria. During a visit to Rabat on Sunday, Lammy described the proposal as 'the most credible, viable and pragmatic basis' for resolving the decades-long dispute over the former Spanish colony, which has been at the heart of a protracted standoff between Morocco and the Algeria-backed Polisario Front. 'The UK will continue to act bilaterally, including economically, regionally and internationally in line with this position to support the resolution of the conflict,' Lammy said at a press conference alongside Morocco's Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita. This position aligns Britain with France and the United States — the three Western permanent members of the UN Security Council — in backing Morocco's proposal, which offers limited autonomy under Moroccan sovereignty rather than full independence for the region. Bourita welcomed the UK's endorsement, calling it a 'historic' development and part of a broader diplomatic push to resolve the conflict. He noted that British investment in the disputed territory was under consideration. New MEE newsletter: Jerusalem Dispatch Sign up to get the latest insights and analysis on Israel-Palestine, alongside Turkey Unpacked and other MEE newsletters The ministers also signed cooperation agreements covering healthcare, innovation, port infrastructure, water management and procurement. Lammy said the deals would ensure British firms benefit from Morocco's infrastructure drive as the country prepares to co-host the 2030 World Cup alongside Spain and Portugal. Contested territory Western Sahara, a phosphate-rich territory with valuable fishing waters, remains on the United Nations list of non-self-governing territories. Morocco controls about 80 percent of the land, while the rest is held by the Polisario Front, which seeks an independent Sahrawi state. Western Sahara: France backs Morocco's claim of sovereignty and its autonomy plan Read More » The conflict began in 1975 after Spain withdrew from the territory. A war between Moroccan forces and the Polisario Front ended in 1991 with a UN-brokered ceasefire that promised a referendum on self-determination — a vote that has never taken place. Since 2020, fighting has resumed, with artillery and drone strikes reported on both sides of a fortified sand wall — known as the berm — erected by Morocco. Human rights groups have repeatedly raised concerns about Morocco's crackdown on pro-independence Sahrawis in areas it controls. Algeria, a staunch supporter of Sahrawi independence, cut diplomatic ties with Morocco in 2021. It hosts the Polisario leadership and around 176,000 Sahrawi refugees in camps near Tindouf. Algiers has sharply criticised Western support for Morocco's plan. After France endorsed the autonomy initiative last year, Algerian officials accused Paris of backing 'a colonial fait accompli' and undermining UN efforts to decolonise the region.

Trump to Netanyahu: 'Not appropriate' to bomb Iran, as US engages in talks
US President Donald Trump on Thursday told reporters that the country is "down to final strokes with Iran", as the two sides engage in talks to establish an agreement designed to curb Iran's nuclear energy development in return for an easing of US sanctions. Key to the talks has been exactly how much uranium enrichment Iran can undertake, if any at all. The Iranians say they must be able to do so for a deal to be struck. But the US does not appear to have publicly settled on a firm policy approach in that regard, given the administration's mixed messaging. The two sides are keen on replacing the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, commonly known as the Obama-negotiated 2015 Iran nuclear deal that Trump withdrew from in 2018. In that deal, Iran was limited to 3.67 percent uranium enrichment, enough for civilian nuclear power and research. Earlier this year, Iran's foreign minister said the JCPOA is "no longer good for us" and "[Trump] does not want another JCPOA either." New MEE newsletter: Jerusalem Dispatch Sign up to get the latest insights and analysis on Israel-Palestine, alongside Turkey Unpacked and other MEE newsletters As of Thursday, the discussions are in their "final moments," Trump said, leading him to admit that he told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a phone call last week how it was "inappropriate" for Israel to bomb Iran's nuclear facilities. "I'd like to be honest, yes, I did," Trump told a reporter who asked if he warned Netanyahu against taking action that could derail talks. "It's not a warning," he added. "I said, 'I don't think it's appropriate'... We're having very good discussions with them." "If we can settle it with a very strong document, very strong, with inspections, and no trust," Trump said. "I don't trust anybody. So no trust. I want it very strong, where we can go in with inspectors." The US, he said, "can take whatever we want, we can blow up whatever we want," as long as nobody gets killed in Iran. "We can blow up a lab, but nobody's going to be in the lab, as opposed to everybody being in the lab and blowing it up. Right? Two ways of doing it," he explained. "I told [Netanyahu] this would be inappropriate to do right now because we're very close to a solution. Now, that could change at any moment, and change with a phone call, but right now I think they want to make a deal. And if we can make a deal, [we can] save a lot of lives." State of talks On Wednesday, the State Department confirmed that the fifth round of talks between the two sides took place in Rome on Friday, hosted by the Omani embassy there. Trump's special envoy to the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, was in attendance for about two and a half hours, the Associated Press (AP) reported. A new report from the US Defense Intelligence Agency, cited by the AP, said 'Iran almost certainly is not producing nuclear weapons, but Iran has undertaken activities in recent years that better position it to produce them, if it chooses to do so." As Trump snubs Israel, Gulf states flex their lobbying for an Iran deal Read More » 'These actions reduce the time required to produce sufficient weapons-grade uranium for a first nuclear device to probably less than one week," the report added. Independent experts, however, have long put Iran's "breakout" timeline at several months rather than weeks. Iran is second only to Russia in facing down crippling US sanctions. It has long maintained that it does not seek a nuclear bomb, with Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei saying in 2019 that such weapons are "forbidden under Islamic law". But Iran is also currently enriching uranium to the 60 percent threshold, just short of weapons grade, including by using advanced centrifuge designs at the deeply-buried Fordow enrichment facility, a fact sheet from the Washington-based National Iranian American Council showed.

Saudi official denies that alcohol ban will be lifted ahead of World Cup
Saudi Arabia has denied reports that it will lift a long-standing ban on alcohol in the Gulf kingdom ahead of the 2034 World Cup. Several international media outlets reported this week that Saudi authorities were planning to allow alcohol sales in tourist settings. The report first appeared on a wine blog last week, but did not cite a source. It had claimed that the 73-year-old ban would be lifted on wine, beer and cider in licensed venues including luxury hotels, five-star resorts and tourist developments. On Monday, a Saudi official denied the reports to Reuters. An informed source aware of the matter told Arab News: 'These claims lack any official confirmation from relevant authorities and do not reflect existing policies or regulations in Saudi Arabia.' New MEE newsletter: Jerusalem Dispatch Sign up to get the latest insights and analysis on Israel-Palestine, alongside Turkey Unpacked and other MEE newsletters While alcohol remains banned, there has been a relaxing of some social norms since Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman launched the Vision 2030 strategy nine years ago. The initiative seeks to move the kingdom away from oil reliance and improve its reputation around the world. Since it began, music festivals, fashion shows and cinemas have been legalised in the country. Israeli and US officials concerned Trump could push F-35 sale to Saudi Arabia Read More » A ban on women driving was also lifted in 2017, and there was easing of gender segregation in some public spaces. Last year, the first alcohol store in Riyadh was opened, to serve non-Muslim diplomats. Prior to that, it was only available through the black market or diplomatic mail. The source told Arab News that the move was aimed at preventing the unauthorised use of diplomatic shipments, and control the use of alcohol under strict regulatory guidelines. In December, Saudi Arabia was unveiled as the host of the 2034 World Cup. Its Gulf neighbour Qatar hosted the tournament in 2022. While it did not allow the sale of alcohol in stadiums during the tournament, it was sold in special fan zones. Prince Khalid bin Bandar bin Sultan Al Saud, Saudi Arabia's ambassador to the UK, said in February that alcohol wouldn't be available in the stands for the 2034 tournament. 'Rather like our weather, it's a dry country,' he said. 'Everyone has their own culture, and we're happy to accommodate people within the boundaries of ours, but we don't want to change our culture for someone else.'
