BEN-GURION INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, Israel—Senior White House adviser Jared Kushner led a delegation from Israel to Morocco on Dec. 22 aboard the first known direct flight since the two countries agreed to establish full diplomatic ties earlier this month, as part of a series of U.S.-brokered normalization accords with Arab countries.

Kushner, who is President Donald Trump’s son-in-law, has overseen the diplomatic push that saw the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Sudan, and Morocco normalize relations with Israel in historic agreements.
