Summarize this article for a 10 year old
The State of Israel and the Kingdom of Morocco formally established diplomatic relations in 2020,[4] when both sides signed the Israel–Morocco normalization agreement in light of the Abraham Accords.[5] While official ties had previously not existed due to the Arab–Israeli conflict, the two countries maintained a secretive bilateral relationship on a number of fronts following the 1948 Arab–Israeli War. For many years, Moroccan king Hassan II facilitated a relationship with Israeli authorities, and these ties are considered to have been instrumental in stabilizing Morocco and striking down possible anti-monarchy threats within the country.[6][7] The Israeli passport is accepted for entry into Morocco, with a visa granted on arrival.[8] With the bilateral normalization agreement in December 2020, Morocco officially recognized Israeli statehood. Almost three years later, in July 2023, Israel officially recognized Moroccan sovereignty over Western Sahara.[9][10][11]
