Morocco’s liaison office in Tel Aviv will soon open following a visit by a junior foreign ministry delegation to the Israeli capital this week after a landmark US-Israel-Morocco deal. Ofir Gendelman, spokesperson for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to Arab media, published on his twitter account a photo of the headquarter of the liaison office. The same building housed the liaison office in 1994 and has been kept by the foreign ministry since then. A Moroccan delegation, exclusively made up of technicians, visited Tel Aviv late December to rehabilitate the premises of the Moroccan liaison office in the city. During the visit, Morocco and Israel materialized the resumption of bilateral ties with the signing of four agreements covering direct flights, visa waivers for diplomats, investment and financial facilitations and water management.
