Moroccan Technical Team Arrives in Tel Aviv to Prepare Liaison Office

"Formed of three members, the delegation is responsible for exploring and restoring the premises of the Moroccan liaison office in Tel Aviv," a reliable source told Le360, specifying that the delegation’s mission is "not diplomatic". "Its presence and work are purely logistical," the source said, explaining that the delegation’s work will mainly consist of rehabilitating the premises of the Moroccan liaison office located in a building in Tel Aviv.

On Friday, King Mohammed VI had a telephone conversation with the Israeli Prime Minister, during which he "recalled the strong and special ties between the Jewish community of Moroccan origin and the Moroccan monarchy". The sovereign also welcomed the "reactivation of cooperation mechanisms between the Kingdom of Morocco and the State of Israel, and the resumption of regular contacts, within the framework of peaceful and friendly diplomatic relations".

The opening in mid-January 2021 of the Moroccan and Israeli liaison offices, respectively in Tel Aviv and Rabat, is one of the issues on the agenda for the normalization of diplomatic relations between the two countries.
