The Israel-based network i24News is expanding its operations to Morocco, the network announced on Monday evening at a gala event in the nation’s capital of Rabat.

CEO Frank Melloul said the company would be opening bureaus with broadcast studios in Rabat and Casablanca, according to a report by the network.

The company’s headquarters are in Tel Aviv; it launched news channels in English, French and Arabic in 2013.

It also has broadcast studios in France, the United States and the United Arab Emirates.

The channel received a license in the UAE in 2021, the year following the signing of the Abraham Accords.

Law enforcement thanked the general public for help finding the man in question just one day after the incident.
It comes as the Israeli Foreign Ministry claimed that the paper published a “shameful attack” on the Jewish state before the release of a report on sexual violence on Oct. 7.
“Jewish New Yorkers constitute a minority of New Yorkers across the five boroughs and yet constitute a majority of New Yorkers who face hate crimes in this city,” the New York City mayor said.
“These disturbing incidents further reinforce the importance of clear and transparent safe-access policies,” said Mark Treyger, CEO of the Jewish Community Relations Council of New York.
“Let’s stand together for public safety, common sense and the future of our city,” Michael Novakhov, a Brooklyn representative, said.
“Since our nation’s founding 250 years ago, Jewish people have played an important role in America’s story,” the statement issued by the Republican Governors Association read.
