An Israeli aircraft is making the first direct commercial flight between Israel and Morocco.

This follows the two countries' recent agreement to upgrade their diplomatic relationship.

The plane is emblazoned with the word "peace" in Arabic, Hebrew and English.

It is carrying a high-level Israeli delegation that will have further talks on the details of diplomatic accord.

The deal was brokered by Washington, and US President Donald Trump's son-in-law and Middle East envoy Jared Kushner is accompanying the Israeli team.

The agreement was part of a series of deals in which Arab countries have moved to normalise their ties with Israel.
