Israeli Transport Minister Miri Regev's Private Visit to Morocco
In a recent development reported by Israeli media, Miri Regev, the Israeli Minister of Transport, has embarked on a private week-long trip to Morocco, commencing on August 19, 2026. She arrived in Marrakech from Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv, accompanied by several senior officials from her ministry. This visit is expected to include moments of reflection at the graves of prominent rabbis in Morocco, highlighting the cultural and historical connections between the two nations.
This journey coincides with a significant announcement from Arkia, an Israeli airline, which plans to resume direct flights between Tel Aviv and Marrakech starting August 24, 2026. This resumption of services comes after a three-year hiatus due to the ongoing conflict in Gaza, underscoring the delicate balance of diplomacy and travel between Israel and Morocco.
