i24NEWS CEO Frank Melloul said the channel will set up bureaus in Rabat and Casablanca.
In addition to the Tel Aviv headquarters, i24NEWS also broadcasts from studios in France, the United States, and recently from the United Arab Emirates. The channel is part of the Altice group, owned by businessman Patrick Drahi.
"Even before the signing of the normalization agreement between Israel and Morocco, and actually throughout i24NEWS' activities in the past several years, we have seen that the channel has a loyal audience in Morocco. We have seen that this is a very engaged and active audience on social media networks, and we are excited to open branches in Morocco, which will help deepen our coverage in the country," Melloul said.
"I believe that the launch of our bureaus in Morocco will help drive many of these missions and will position i24NEWS as a leading player in the media and news market in the Maghreb and African countries."
