An Israeli military delegation has arrived in Morocco and met with high-ranking military officials, to strengthen bilateral cooperation in the field.
Israeli media reported that three senior IDF officers were part of the delegation, Major General Tal Kalman head of the IDF strategy division, or the deputy head of the Israeli army, Brigadier General Efi Dafrin, head of the Intelligence Division.
They were received by the Inspector General of the Royal Armed Forces (FAR), Lieutenant General Belkhir El Farouk as well as senior officials of the General Staff and the head or chief of Intelligence and the head of the Operations Division, were part of the meeting.
The two delegations agreed on military cooperation of mutual interest within the framework of the November 2021 agreement.
The senior officers also met with other senior Moroccan military officials, including the head of the Intelligence Division and the head of the Operations Division.
“Opportunities for military collaborations were discussed, both in training and in operational and intelligence areas,” the Israeli military said.
These senior Israeli military officials who completed their first official trip to Morocco signed a memorandum of understanding on joint military cooperation.
“The military officials discussed the historical and cultural link between our two countries and mutual interests in the Middle East, and expressed their desire to promote extensive military cooperation,” the IDF said in a statement following the signing ceremony of the agreement.
Last week, Major General Tal Kelman, the IDF’s second-in-command, and other officials held talks with American defense officials at the Pentagon.
The Rabat meetings took place as the state-owned Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), the Hebrew state’s largest aerospace and defense company, signed a memorandum of understanding in the Moroccan capital on Wednesday in the presence of Ryad Mezzour, Morocco’s minister of industry and trade, Boaz Levy, IAI’s chief executive officer, and Amir Peretz, chairman of IAI’s board of directors.
