The Israeli army announced Saturday that Chief of Staff Aviv Kohavi will visit Morocco next week, as part of the growing cooperation between the two countries.

The Israeli army spokesman said that this was the first official visit of the Israeli chief of staff to the Kingdom of Morocco, without giving details of the exact date of the trip.

Kochavi’s visit to Morocco also comes as part of US efforts to enhance regional security and military cooperation in the region, especially between Israel and the signatories to the Abraham Accords,  addition to a number of Arab countries that participated in military maneuvers in the African Lion exercises; 

Israel and Morocco restored diplomatic relations between them in December 2020 as part of the normalization process between the Jewish state and a number of Arab countries, with the support of the previous US administration.

Since then, the rapprochement between the two countries has continued at a steady pace, with successive visits by Israeli officials to Morocco, including Defense Minister Benny Gantz in November and Israeli Interior Minister Ayelet Shaked in June. 

Partnerships were signed between the two countries in the technological, security, military, economic and cultural fields.
