Israel\u2019s Ministry of Defence says it is participating for the first time in a defence exhibition in Morocco, as it announced its first-ever national pavilion at the Marrakesh Air Show 2026.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis marks Israel\u2019s first official participation in the defence exhibition held in Morocco since the signing of the Abraham Accords\u201d, Israel\u2019s Defence Ministry said in a statement on Thursday.<\/p>\n

The ministry said eight Israeli defence companies exhibited \u201cadvanced, combat-proven technologies at the show\u201d in Marrakesh, which runs until Saturday.<\/p>\n

The Marrakech Air Show, taking place from October 7 to October 10 this year at the Marrakech Royal Moroccan Air Force Base, is organised every two years and is meant for civil and military aeronautics and space industries to highlight their latest offerings.<\/p>\n

\u201cIsrael\u2019s three major defence industries, Elbit Systems, IAI, and Rafael, also exhibited, presenting solutions across the air, land, sea, space, intelligence, cyber, and digital domains,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n

The announcement is the latest sign of increasing ties between the Arabic-speaking North African country and Israel, since the two established ties in 2020 as part of the US-backed Abraham Accords.<\/p>\n

Last month, Israel and Morocco agreed to upgrade<\/a> their diplomatic ties, including elevating their respective missions to embassies and appointing ambassadors to both countries.<\/p>\n

The move followed a meeting between the two countries\u2019 foreign ministers, hosted by the US ambassador to the United Nations, Mike Waltz, on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York.<\/p>\n

They also agreed to expand air travel, including by reinstating direct flights operated by carriers from both nations, and confirmed plans for high-level bilateral visits in the coming months.<\/p>\n

Morocco is also one of the five countries that have pledged to send troops to Gaza, under the US-backed International Stabilization Force (ISF) as part of US President Donald Trump\u2019s so-called Board of Peace.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
