Moroccan prime minister indicates ties with Israel still possible

Moroccan Prime Minister Saad-Eddine El Othmani has reportedly walked back comments in which he said Rabat would not normalize relations with Israel.

El Othmani tells French-language news site Le360 that his comments were made in his capacity as leader of the Islamist PJD party, and not as prime minister.

“We refuse any normalization with the Zionist entity because this emboldens it to go further in breaching the rights of the Palestinian people,” El Othmani told the party on Saturday.
