The Israeli National Security Council dropped the travel warning on Morocco on October 25 after over a decade, according to Israeli media.
The decision was made following a top-level assessment that the estimated threat level to Israelis in Morocco has decreased after last year’s normalization deal between the two countries.
The normalization of diplomatic ties between the two countries took place on December 10, 2020, as part of a trilateral agreement involving the US.
“Simultaneously, it is advised to continue being on high alert while staying in the country,” the council’s statement added, according to the same source.
Recently this month, Royal Air Maroc (RAM) and the Israeli airline El Al signed a Memorandum of Cooperation (MoU) in order to provide greater benefits for travelers from both countries.
Last August, Morocco and Israel’s foreign affairs ministers have signed three agreements on political consultation, air services, and culture, including tourism.
During the same month, the first direct flight between Israel and Morocco landed in Marrakesh, and carried one hundred Israeli tourists, in a move aimed at attracting 50,000 Israeli tourists to Morocco by the end of the year.
