By Staff, Agencies In the course of cementing normalization, the Moroccan regime is set to receive the Zionist entity’s alternate Prime Minister and so-called Foreign Minister Yair Lapid next week, in the first trip to the kingdom by the occupation regime’s top diplomat since they normalized ties. A source at Morocco's foreign ministry told media that Lapid would visit on August 11-12 and meet with his counterpart, without providing further details.

An ‘Israeli’ foreign ministry spokesman confirmed the dates.

The Moroccan regime was one of four Arab regimes to unashamedly agree last year to normalize ties with the Zionist occupation regime, along with the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Sudan, in betrayal of the Palestinian cause and the rights of Palestinian people to liberate their land and return to their homes.
