trade in terms of tourism in this instance he's been talking about the fact that so many hundreds of thousands of moroccan jews came to israel in the early days of zionism and throughout the early days of the israeli state and that that is what he calls a bridge to morocco and so again he's been talking about the fact that there will be these direct flights that people can go and find a family find trace their family histories in morocco presumably that is something that has happened in the past but in terms of organized to a groups having to fly by europe being able to do so independently directly will be a major change for. israeli jews of moroccan heritage there's been obviously a very different reaction coming from the palestinian side the outgoing member of the executive committee of the p.l.o. how to mush where we has tweeted that between bribery and blackmail the trump administration is in
