Morocco mulls buying Israeli radar, drones, jets upgrade, Israeli broadcaster says – Reuters
JERUSALEM/RABAT, Nov 25 (Reuters) – Morocco has broached buying Israeli-made pilotless planes and anti-missile systems, and commissioning an Israeli upgrade of some of its fighter jets, Israel’s public broadcaster Kan reported on Thursday after the countries signed a defence pact.
Moroccan and Israeli officials had no immediate comment.
Israeli Defence Minister Benny Gantz, in Rabat to sign the memorandum of understanding, said in an Op-Ed published by two local dailies that it would help the countries fend off “extremist terror as well as border and air threats”.
