Moroccan Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita met on Wednesday (June 7th) in Rabat with Israel's Homeland Security Advisor Tzachi Hanegbi."During these talks, the two parties reviewed a series of bilateral and regional issues of common interest," the Moroccan foreign ministry said without providing details.The Israeli regime and Rabat announced on December 10, 2020 the resumption of their diplomatic relations interrupted twenty years earlier in 2000.

Since the signing of an agreement to normalize diplomatic relations with Morocco, within the framework of the so-called "Abraham Accords" supported by the United States, the Israeli regime has been carrying out a vast political project to infiltrate more and more in various economic, social and cultural sectors of this Arab country.

At the same time, Tel Aviv establishes significant military cooperation with Rabat, particularly in the field of arms sales. According to experts, this Tel Aviv policy could harm the balance of power and stability in the region.

Wednesday, June 7, the speaker of the Knesset (parliament of the Zionist regime), Amir Ohana, travels to Morocco at the invitation of the speaker of the Moroccan Parliament. This is the first official visit by a leader of the Zionist Parliament to a Muslim country.

On his agenda was a meeting with the President of the Moroccan Parliament, Rachid Talbi Alami, as well as with Nordine Elhrouchi, Moroccan President of the Israeli-Moroccan Parliamentary Friendship Group, but also other members of the Moroccan House of Representatives.During Amir Ohana's stay in Rabat, the Israeli Embassy in Morocco will resume its activities.

The Moroccan Front in Support of Palestine, which fights against the normalization of Morocco's relations with the Zionist regime, condemned the visit to Morocco by the Speaker of the Knesset. The Front reported the mobilization of its activists to hold a demonstration against the visit of the Israeli parliamentarian to Morocco in front of the headquarters of the Moroccan Parliament in Rabat.

In a statement, the Moroccan Front for the Support of Palestine asked Moroccan parliamentarians and all supporters of the Palestinian cause to express their opposition to Amir Ohana's trip to Rabat.The Moroccan Association for Human Rights issued a statement condemning the visit to Morocco by the Speaker of the Knesset.
