Tal Kelman, the military official in charge of Iran affairs, and other senior Israeli officers met with the chief of Morocco’s military, Belkhir El Farouk, in Rabat this week, the Israel Defense Forces says.
Kelman was joined by Effie Defrin, the military’s international cooperation commander, and Brigadier General G., the Intelligence Directorate’s Operations Division commander.
The three officers met with El Farouk and senior Moroccan military officials, including the head of the intelligence division and the head of the operations division.

“The officials discussed the historical and cultural connection between the countries and mutual interests in the Middle East, and expressed their desire to promote extensive military cooperation,” the IDF says in a statement.
According to the IDF, during the meetings an accord was signed on the two militaries collaborating in exercises and intelligence.
