The US presidential advisor, Steve Witkoff, told CBS’s “60 Minutes Overtime” program that the administration is working on a peace deal between Morocco and Algeria, according to the Moroccan government-friendly North Africa Post plus agencies on October 20th.

Witkoff told the program, which was broadcast on October 20th, that his “team is working on a peace agreement between Morocco and Algeria at the moment. There will be a peace agreement, in my opinion, within 60 days.”
