French Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu is scheduled to visit Morocco on Thursday, July 16, 2026, aiming to strengthen relations between Paris and Rabat in areas such as trade and defense. However, as the visit commences, an investigation has uncovered that Morocco employed Israeli spyware to spy on several French ministers, including Lecornu himself.

The revelations come at a sensitive time for diplomatic relations between the two countries. FRANCE 24's Shirli Sitbon reports on the unfolding situation.
