The head of the Israeli Liaison Office in Morocco, David Govrin, will reportedly\u00a0return to Rabat in the coming days to resume his duties, after being\u00a0recalled\u00a0last year over\u00a0allegations\u00a0of sexual harassment, Israeli media reported.<\/p>\n
Observers believe Govrin will be reinstated to his post due to the difficulty of\u00a0continuing the investigation into\u00a0the claims and the structural changes to the Israeli Foreign Ministry since the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu came into office.<\/p>\n
Moroccan journalist and expert on relations between Morocco and Israel,\u00a0Chama Darchoul, said Govrin’s return has become a\u00a0foregone conclusion, “not because there were no charges against him, as some\u00a0newspapers had welcomed,” but rather for political reasons.<\/p>\n
“Discussing recognising Morocco’s sovereignty over Western Sahara in return\u00a0for restoring life to the diplomatic process [between Israel and Morocco] and\u00a0returning David to his post [despite his lacking expertise on the file] is due to\u00a0an internal dispute [in Israel] between sending a politician from the extreme\u00a0right or someone who ascended the foreign ministry’s ladder,” she explained.<\/p>\n
The Moroccan government did not comment on the envoy’s return.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
