• The United States has proposed a resolution in the UN Security Council allowing for 'genuine autonomy under Moroccan sovereignty' in Western Sahara.
• With Donald Trump in the White House, the US changed its stance on the Western Sahara conflict in 2020, recognizing Moroccan sovereignty over the territory and promoting diplomatic relations between Morocco and Israel.
• Several European countries, including Spain and France, have supported the US stance on this issue.
• Spain's change of stance has caused tensions in its relations with the Polisario Front and Algeria.
• There is a desire on the part of the US administration and other global actors to normalize relations between Morocco and Algeria, and to resolve the Western Sahara conflict.
• Polisario indicates willingness to accept the autonomy plan proposed by Morocco if it is validated by the Saharawi population through a referendum.

Conclusion: Recent developments indicate a move toward resolving the long-standing conflict in Western Sahara, but there are still significant hurdles to overcome, including the agreement of the Sahrawi population and potential resistance from global actors like Russia.
