Defense Minister Benny Gantz, Regional Cooperation Minister Issawi Freij and Justice Minister Gideon Saar are only a few of the Israeli ministers and senior officials who have visited Morocco recently.
Israeli tourists are flooding the streets of Rabat, Casablanca, Marrakesh and Fez these days. For many of them, visiting Morocco is a journey into their family’s history and roots. The visitor book of the El Azma synagogue in the mellah (Jewish quarter) of Marrakesh indicates that clearly, with countless messages in Hebrew thanking the Moroccan community for preserving the building.
Moroccan tourist guides, shop owners and even the average Moroccan have been quick to adapt to this new reality, ever since the two countries normalized ties following the signing of the Abraham Accords two years ago.
