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.

Pramila Patten also boasted that she had informed the Israeli mission to the United Nations that she would refuse to visit its detention facilities “even if they offered.”
The accord is the latest sign of the newly strengthened relations between the countries.
The Israeli singer “crossed generations, communities and sectors, becoming an inseparable part of the soundtrack of our lives,” Prime Minister Netanyahu said.
“In the Gaza Strip, we are clinching Hamas from all sides. ... We don’t allow them to arm themselves or harm us, and we also eliminate their senior commanders,” the premier said.
The Bank of Israel stepped in to protect high-tech exporters from a currency that their own success created.
Authorities on Crete detained a 37-year-old man suspected of ties to the Islamist organization and planning attacks, including against Israeli targets.
