(JNS) Israel’s Ambassador to Morocco David Govrin has signed a construction contract for building a headquarters for a permanent Israeli embassy in Morocco.

“I am very happy to share with you this photo, which witnesses one of the historical moments I lived with my team, as the construction contract for the headquarters of the permanent Israeli embassy in Morocco was signed,” he wrote on Twitter. “With this, we will begin, God willing, a new era in which we will consolidate our distinguished relations with Morocco.”

According to Ynet, the construction will cost $4 million and be built on the same property where Israel had a presence before it was abandoned in 2000, when diplomatic relations were severed.
