Morocco king skips W. Africa summit because Israel attends

 

ROBERTSFIELD, Liberia —Morocco's king is skipping a regional meeting of West African leaders amid his country's bid to join the bloc known as ECOWAS.

 

King Mohammed VI canceled his trip to the Sunday gathering because Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was among those attending. Morocco is one of the Arab League countries with no diplomatic ties with Israel.

 

Both Israel and Morocco are looking to increase investment and business ties in West Africa.
