The Israeli flagship airline, El Al, is expected to provide the airliner for the first direct flight from Tel Aviv to Rabat.

Despite Trump's departure from office on January 20, Kushner's team is still holding talks with Washington's regional lackeys to push more countries from the Arab and Muslim world to seal deals with Israel.
Following Trump’s announcement of Morocco's normalization of ties with Israel, Kushner said that a deal between Riyadh and Tel Avivi was inevitable.
Kushner claimed the only unresolved issue regarding the Israel-Saudi deal was the timeframe of their agreement.
