Ushpiz is slated to meet his Moroccan counterpart, Fouad Yazur, as well as senior officials of the Moroccan Foreign Ministry, as the two countries begin to develop on the diplomatic ties that were reanimated as part of the Abraham Accords in 2020.
In a few weeks, direct flights between Israel's Ben Gurion International Airport and two Moroccan cities, Casablanca and Marrakech, are slated to become available.
"The flights operated by Israeli and Moroccan airlines will greatly promote tourist and business travel between the two countries," the Foreign Ministry said.
