The first direct commercial flight between Israel and Morocco took off from Tel Aviv Tuesday, broadcasters showed, in a symbolic trip after the countries reached a US-brokered deal to normalise ties.
The El Al flight with US President Donald Trump's son-in-law and advisor Jared Kushner and Israeli National Security Advisor Meir Ben Shabbat on board was headed to Rabat, where Morocco and Israeli officials were due to sign a series of agreements.
