Kushner, Middle East envoy Avi Berkowitz and Adam Boehler, chief executive officer of the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation, will arrive in Israel on Monday and meet with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
U.S. President Donald Trump announced the Israel-Morocco normalization deal last week. It was the fourth that the United States helped broker, following similar agreements between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Sudan.
Israel and Morocco have had covert relations for decades, and the latter openly accepts tourists from Israel. Following the Oslo Accords, ties solidified publically, with then-Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and Shimon Peres attended the opening of an Israeli representation office. After the second intifada erupted in 2000, ties became secretive again.

Theft or cyber attacks on the supply chain are an added worry.
