Morocco and Israel have started historic first scheduled flight between the two nations effective Tuesday.
Israel and Morocco less than a month ago agreed to normalise relations between them.
Passengers on the El Al plane for the first flight included White House senior advisor Jared Kushner, who reportedly played a key role in brokering the peace agreement.
The US ambassador to Israel, David Friedman was also on board the flight.
The plane for the flight is emblazoned with the word “peace” in Arabic, Hebrew and English.
According to Friedman the deal between Israel and Morocco was the fourth agreement between the two nations as many months.
“Each peace agreement stands on its own. Each one is to be celebrated and together they are to be recognized as a sea change in the Middle East,” he said.
