A senior Israeli security delegation headed by the director general of the Ministry of Defense Amir Baram is visiting Morocco between November 8 and 11 to expand military and security cooperation. Baram met with the representative of the Moroccan Minister of Defense Abdellatif Loday, the Inspector General of the Armed Forces Mohamed Braid and senior intelligence officials.
The discussions focused on defense technology, weapons procurement, cyber security, military training and joint defense production, including Israeli support for the development of Morocco's local defense industry through partnerships and technology transfer.
Baram is also supposed to inaugurate the office of Israel's permanent military attache in Rabat, headed by Col. Sharon Itach. The visit is another step in the expansion of defense ties created following the normalization of relations in 2020 and the signing of a military cooperation agreement in 2021.
