Morocco and Israel on Monday signed a trade agreement to facilitate investments as the two countries look to broaden cooperation since they normalized relations in 2020.

The deal was signed in Rabat by Israeli Economy Minister Orna Barbivai and Moroccan Trade Minister Ryad Mezzour, Reuters said.

Barbivai told a news conference Israel aspires to increase trade with Morocco from $131 million currently to $500 million "soon."

Morocco was one of four Arab countries - along with the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Sudan - to move towards normalizing ties with Israel last year under US- engineered accords.

Yemen's Houthis Fire Missile Toward Israel, which Israeli Military Intercepts

Yemen's Houthis Fire Missile Toward Israel, which Israeli Military Intercepts

Yemen's Houthi militias launched a missile early Sunday toward Israel, which the Israeli military said it shot down.
Sirens sounded in parts of Israel around the Dead Sea over the attack, which the Houthis did not immediately claim.
“The missile was intercepted prior to crossing into Israeli territory,” the Israeli military said.
American airstrikes, meanwhile, continued targeting the Houthis overnight into Sunday, part of an intense campaign targeting the militias that began on March 15.
The US is targeting the Houthis because of the group’s attacks on shipping in the Red Sea, a crucial global trade route, and on Israel.
