This is the first visit by an Israeli foreign minister to Morocco in close to 20 years. Several agreements of co-operation were signed between the two nations. In addition, Foreign Minister Yair Lapid is scheduled to inaugurate Israel’s mission in Rabat. All of this is made possible by President Trump’s historic and miraculous Abraham Accords. Thank you, President Trump. You are the greatest friend to Israel and the Jewish people.
FM @yairlapid is warmly received by the Moroccan delegation in Rabat.

Lapid lands in Morocco for first visit since Abraham Accords
Foreign Minister Yair Lapid landed in Morocco on Wednesday, for the first visit of such a senior Israeli official since diplomatic relations were reestablished last year.
By Jerusalem Post, August 11, 2021Foreign Minister Yair Lapid landed in Morocco on Wednesday, the first visit of a senior Israeli official since diplomatic relations were reestablished last year.
Lapid met with Moroccan Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita, and they signed several agreements of cooperation between the countries. He was met at the airport by Minister-Delegate to the Foreign Ministry Mohcine Jazouli.
Lapid wrote in the Moroccan Foreign Ministry’s guest book: “I feel honored and privileged to thank the Kings of Morocco Muhammad V and Hassan II, may God preserve their memory, for their friendship and support for Moroccan Jews throughout history and the contribution of the kingdom of Morocco to peace and stability to the region.“Our deep gratitude also goes to [current] King Muhammad VI, may God protect him, who continues the legacy of his grandfather and father in deepening the bond between the two peoples and building peace relations between the two countries,” Lapid added.
In addition, Lapid will inaugurate Israel’s mission in Rabat and visit the Jewish community in Casablanca.Lapid is the first Israeli foreign minister to visit Morocco since Silvan Shalom, who tried to bring about normalization in 2003.Accompanying him are Welfare Minister Meir Cohen, who was born in Morocco, Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee chairman Ram Ben-Barak, Foreign Ministry Director-General Alon Ushpiz, and Dr. Inbar Zucker, a senior Health Ministry official. Singer Shimon Buskila, whose parents were born in Morocco and who sings in both Moroccan and Hebrew, joined the delegation and plans to perform for the Jewish community.“I am going to Morocco to represent Israel and dedicate the Israeli mission in Rabat, the capital,” Lapid said on Tuesday. “The historic trip is a continuation of a years-long friendship and a deep connection to the roots and traditions of the Jewish community in Morocco and the large community of Israelis with origins in Morocco.”Israel and Morocco reopened economic liaison offices in each other’s countries after partial diplomatic relations were renewed in December. Rabat has yet to agree to full normalization.The countries previously had low-level ties after the Oslo Accords were signed in 1993, which were suspended after the Second Intifada began in 2000. However, relations grew closer in recent years, especially in countering threats from Iran.In addition, there are about one million Israelis who are descendants from the Moroccan Jewish community, tens of thousands of whom could be expected to visit each year.
