i24 News – Israel’s National Security Advisor Tzachi Hanegbi was received by Morcco’s Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita in Rabat on Wednesday for a historic visit that symbolized growing ties between the Jewish and North African states.
Upon his arrival, Tzachi held a series of meetings with Moroccan officials and heads of security services, in talks that dealt with the promotion of a shared vision between Morocco’s King Mohammed VI and Israel’s Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu – regarding the strengthening of cooperation between the two countries in the fields of foreign affairs and security
