Jared Kushner liderará la delegación conjunta de Estados Unidos e Israel en Marruecos

Jared Kushner, the White House senior adviser, will be leading a joint US-Israeli delegation to visit the Kingdom of Morocco next week to discuss the normalisation of relations between the two countries.

A US delegation, led by President Donald Trump's chief adviser, Jared Kushner, and the special envoy for the Middle East, Avi Berkowitz, is due to land in Israel next Monday. The next day, they will be joined by Prime Minister Benjamin's national security adviser, Meir Ben-Shabbat, and other Israeli officials for the flight to the Moroccan capital from Ben Gurion airport. This is the first non-stop flight from Tel Aviv to Rabat.

The Minister of Transport, Miri Regev, said during a radio address: "I am very proud that our grandparents can visit Morocco while they are still alive. This is peace".

This historic trip will take place just two weeks after the country of the North African Kingdom announced the establishment of diplomatic relations with the Jewish State, following Trump's decision to recognise Morocco's sovereignty over the disputed territory of Western Sahara.

The Israel-Morocco agreement is the fourth that the United States has helped negotiate in scarcely four months. Israel has already normalised relations with countries such as the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Sudan.

As part of the agreement, Trump agreed to recognise Morocco's sovereignty over Western Sahara, where a decades-old territorial dispute has pitted Morocco against the Algerian-backed Polisario Front, a dissident movement that seeks to establish an independent state in the territory.

Kushner and his team continue to hold talks with other countries in the Arab world in the hope of sealing at least one more agreement before Trump leaves office on 20 January.
