The Israeli Speaker of Parliament, Amir Ohana, also visited the kingdom the same day at the invitation of his Moroccan counterpart, Rachid Talbi Alami. He is Israel’s first parliament speaker to visit Morocco – a homecoming for the Israeli official of Moroccan origin.
“History is taking shape before our eyes, and it brings good news of strengthening and consolidating relations between the two countries, bringing the two peoples closer together, and widening the circle of peace,” Ohana said.
The reception of Hanegbi and Ohana came while Israeli soldiers took part for the first time in the “African Lion” international military exercise in Morocco, under the direction of the U.S. command for Africa.
