By Staff, Agencies

Zionist Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held a secret meeting with Moroccan Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita in New York last September, an ‘Israeli’ TV reported said.

Netanyahu met with Bourita during his visit to participate in the UN General Assembly, Channel 13 news revealed Sunday.

Quoting a senior ‘Israeli’ official who was involved in arranging the meeting, the TV report added that Netanyahu asked Bourita to advance the normalization of ‘Israeli’-Moroccan ties. He offered assistance for Morocco regarding Iran, the report said without elaborating.

Netanyahu also sought to arrange a visit to Morocco.

Asked for a response, Netanyahu’s office said it “does not comment on contacts with countries with which ‘Israel’ does not have formal relations.”

Relatively, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Emmanuel Nahshon claimed he was unaware of such a meeting.
