As part of Tel Aviv's efforts to normalize relations with Arab states, Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman has reportedly held talks with his Moroccan counterpart.
According to Israeli media sources, Lieberman had a secret meeting with Taieb Fassi Fihri on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York on Thursday.
No details of the meeting have yet emerged.
There are also reports that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has held talks with representatives from Bahrain and Qatar, whose countries cut their limited trade ties with Tel Aviv over its military offensive in the Gaza Strip.
Arab countries have repeatedly said they would establish diplomatic ties with Israel only after a full freeze on construction of Jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem (al-Quds), which are illegal under international law.
The Israeli Prime Minister has thus far refused to heed the US-backed international demand to stop the illegal work.
Currently only two Arab states --Egypt and Jordan-- have diplomatic relations with Israel.
