Israeli Minister's Visit to Marrakech Coincides with Flight Resumption
Israeli Minister of Transportation, Miri Regev, has chosen the enchanting city of Marrakech for a personal getaway, accompanied by several senior officials from her ministry. This visit aligns with the recent announcement by Arkia Airlines regarding the resumption of direct flights from Tel Aviv to Marrakech, a route that had been suspended for three years. According to reports from the website "Calcalist," Regev is set to board the inaugural flight reinstating the Tel Aviv-Marrakech route, accompanied by Moshe Ben Zaken, the director general of the Israeli Ministry of Transportation, along with other officials.
It is important to note that the Israeli Ministry of Transportation has clarified that this trip is not an official mission. Instead, it is a personal trip, with each participant responsible for their own accommodation and expenses. The timing of Regev's journey coincides with Arkia Airlines' recommencement of direct flights to Marrakech, marking a significant return for the airline after a prolonged hiatus in services between the two nations. The participation of Miri Regev in this inaugural flight not only highlights the reopening of this air route but also adds a notable media dimension to Arkia's return to Morocco, despite the ministry's insistence that the minister's visit is purely personal in nature.
