President sends condolences to Moroccan king on death of boy Rayan in well

President Isaac Herzog sends condolences to King Mohammed VI of Morocco after the death of a young boy who fell down a well.

“On behalf of the people of Israel, I offered HM King Mohammed VI our heartfelt condolences over the tragic death of little Rayan,” Herzog says, according to a readout from his office.

“With the rest of the world, we were transfixed by the rescue operation and prayed for his safe return. Our hearts broke last night.”

Israel and Morocco reestablished diplomatic relations recently under the US-brokered Abraham Accords, after a two-decade freeze.
