It’s not fun to be the official emissary of Israel in Morocco. The veteran diplomat David Govrin, who is head of the mission, has been having a hard time finding an appropriate place for its offices. Six months after he was appointed to the job, the mission is still operating out of a hotel in the capital of Rabat.
Landlords have refused to rent it space in the kind of residential building Govrin is looking for. The government of Morocco has proposed a building far from the center of the city where Israel used to have an office, but Israel rejected the offer, saying it wanted the mission to be in the diplomatic quarter with other embassies, on the assumption that the mission will one day become a full-fledged embassy.

Nervous about future of fossil fuels, Israel reexamines limits on gas exports
Israel is considering rolling back export limits on natural gas, allowing energy companies to sell more abroad before demand wanes in the global market, according a draft government report.
Fewer restrictions could attract more energy groups to explore Israeli waters, ensuring the country receives tens of billion of dollars in taxes and royalties, said a panel that recommends export policy.
Huge gas reserves discovered in the eastern Mediterranean over the past 12 years have turned Israel, a small market long-reliant on imported fuel, into an energy exporter.
It set limits around a decade ago on how much could be sold abroad, earmarking nearly 60% of reserves for domestic use. Israel already sells gas to Egypt and Jordan and is looking to expand into European and Asian markets.
