Orit Moshe: Prominent Diplomatic Figure Honored for Advancing Moroccan-Israeli Relations

In a move that reflects the gongoing dynamism of bilateral relations between the Kingdom of Morocco and the State of Israel, Orit Moshe, Senior Advisor to the Speaker of the Israeli Knesset, has been awarded an official certificate of appreciation by the Knesset Presidency. This recognition comes in light of her significant and exceptional efforts in strengthening parliamentary and diplomatic ties between the two nations.

The honor followed the landmark official visit of Amir Ohana, Speaker of the Knesset, to Morocco — a historic first, marking the inaugural visit of a Knesset Speaker to a Muslim-majority country. The visit was widely regarded as a symbolic and strategic milestone, highlighting the mutual will to deepen cooperation between the legislative institutions of both countries.

Thanks to her high-level competence and professional expertise, Orit Moshe played a pivotal role in organizing and coordinating the visit, which was conducted under the direct supervision of the Knesset’s leadership. The visit represented a culmination of growing bilateral cooperation encompassing various fields, notably parliamentary, economic, and technological collaboration.

According to the official statement, Ms. Moshe “embodies the model of a dedicated and effective diplomat, working diligently behind the scenes with a high sense of professionalism to build institutional bridges and foster dialogue between nations.” Her unwavering commitment to advancing the Knesset’s presence on the international stage has significantly contributed to Israel’s visibility in parliamentary forums.

This recognition further underscores the tangible development of Moroccan-Israeli relations since their reactivation in late 2020 under the framework of bilateral cooperation agreements. The relationship has steadily expanded through increased official exchanges and broader institutional coordination.

Through this renewed diplomatic momentum, Israel seeks to establish multidimensional partnerships with Morocco, grounded in shared interests and mutual understanding — particularly in key sectors such as innovation, advanced technologies, and higher education.

It is also worth noting that the official visit by the Knesset Speaker opened new horizons for parliamentary diplomacy and reinforced the role of legislative institutions in strengthening international relations. The visit included discussions on the potential for bilateral cooperation, the exchange of legislative expertise, and the launch of joint initiatives in the near future.
