Direct flights between Israel and Morocco began Sunday, seven months after the two countries officially signed an agreement to normalize relations.
El Al and Israir both launched their first flights to Marrakesh on Sunday with a ceremony marking the historic flights.
Jerusalem and Rabat agreed to normalize relations last December following the Abraham Accords. The agreement followed similar ones with the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Sudan.
