Israeli foreign minister visits Morocco after normalizing ties

Rabat (QNN)- Israeli occupation Foreign Minister Yair Lapid flew to Morocco on Wednesday, making him the first Israeli minister to visit the country since normalizing ties last December.
“Taking off for a historic visit to Morocco!” Lapid wrote on Twitter.
אני יוצא מחר למרוקו לייצג את מדינת ישראל ולחנוך את הנציגות הישראלית בראבט הבירה.

Lapid and his Moroccan counterpart Nasser Bourita signed agreements on political consultations, aviation and culture on Wednesday.
Lapid told reporters the accords would “bring our countries innovation and opportunities for the benefit of our children –– and their children –– for years to come”.
On Thursday, Lapid will officially open Israel’s Liaison Office in the capital Rabat.
Lapid with this visit became the first Israeli minister to visit Morocco since normalizing relations last December as part of a three-way deal with the U.S., in which the Trump administration recognized Moroccan sovereignty in Western Sahara.
Last year, ‘Israel’ and Arab countries, including the UAE, Bahrain, Sudan, and Morocco normalized ties, known as the Abraham Accords, brokered by Washington.
Palestinians condemned the normalization agreements, saying they encouraged Israel’s denial of their rights and do not serve the Palestinian cause.
