Normalization to Be Continued: Morocco Receives First Direct Flight from the Occupied Territories

By Staff, Agencies

As Morocco cements normalization with the Zionist entity, it received the first direct commercial flights coming from the ‘Israeli’-occupied territories on Sunday.

The flight landed in Marrakesh more than seven months after the Arab nation normalized diplomatic relations with the ‘Israeli’ occupation regime as part of a US-brokered deal.

Passengers from Tel Aviv arrived on an ‘Israir’ flight early Sunday afternoon and were met with dates, cakes, and mint tea, at an unashamed welcoming ceremony organized by the host country.

‘Israir’ spokeswoman Tali Leibovitz told AFP that two to three flights per week were planned on the route.

A second flight, by the Zionist entity’s official carrier El Al, landed in Marrakesh later in the day.

El Al said it plans five flights per week to Marrakesh and Casablanca.

Morocco was one of four Arab states to agree to normalize ties with the Zionist occupiers last year, along with the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Sudan.
