Moroccan and Israeli ambassadors to Mexico, Abdelfattah Lebbar and Tzvi Tal have highlighted the great progress in the Moroccan-Israeli cooperation, a year after the restoration of relations between both countries.
In an article entitled “The First Anniversary of the Restoration of Diplomatic Relations between Israel and Morocco,” published by Mexican newspaper “Excelsior,” the two sides stressed that this progress “has been strengthened in various political, diplomatic, economic, and cultural fields.”
The article highlighted that this bilateral cooperation was also embodied through the signing of several agreements that mainly concerned the resumption of direct air links between the two countries, cooperation in the security field, organizing joint forums on innovation, as well as cooperation between academic institutions.
In addition, different activities have been organized between civil societies in both countries since the resumption of diplomatic relations.
The article continued that the rapprochement between the two countries, which was celebrated by the Israeli Minister of Foreign Affairs Yair Lapid and his Moroccan counterpart Nasser Bourita, has enabled the strengthening of the ancient links between the two peoples.
In the article, the Moroccan ambassador to Mexico, Abdelfattah Lebbar, stressed that restoring bilateral relations with the State of Israel “consecrates the historical coexistence and special ties between Jews and Muslims in Morocco.”
For his part, Israeli ambassador to Mexico, Zvi Tal, said that “when we invest efforts and when there is a commitment, peace and a common vision can be achieved for the advancement of the peoples of our region, and opening new horizons for cooperation between Israel, Morocco, and Mexico.”
The article pointed out that the Moroccan and Israeli embassies joined the “Green Challenge” program, in September 2021, by donating 66 trees planted in the forest of San Juan de Aragon, Mexico.
Both diplomats explained that “this activity is of great importance as it embodies the development of relations between the two countries.”
The Moroccan Basketball Federation announced this Saturday, January 23, that it had reached a “historic” agreement with its Israeli counterpart, which will be signed next March, and touches on all educational, health, sports, and social fields related to the game.
This understanding was reached during a meeting, held remotely, in which the head of the Moroccan Basketball Federation, Mustafa Orach, and his Israeli counterpart, Amiram Halevy, participated, reinforcing the multitude of cooperation fields between both countries.
