Israel and Morocco strengthen ties • Pro-Israel lobbies in the US go to battle for the Democratic Party • And a former senior official in the Trump administration blames the right-wing politicians in Israel: "They played dirty politics"
Kochavi, like Defense Minister Gantz before him, is received in Morocco with a warm, metaphorical and physical embrace. All in all, a year and a half has passed since Morocco joined the momentum of the Abraham Accords, and renewed its public relations with Israel with great fanfare.
But it is not only about economic and civil ties, but an insatiable appetite for strengthening security ties. Joint exercises between the IDF and the Moroccan army, the purchase of weapons systems and even the opening of local production lines for Israeli weapons systems in Morocco - everything is on the agenda.
Only two years ago such developments were imaginary. Today in Morocco they are done openly, and in front of the other Gulfs - in a low profile.
