Israel expects to fully normalise ties with Sudan sometime later this year, said Israel’s foreign minister after returning from a diplomatic mission to the Sudanese capital.
Eli Cohen spoke to reporters after a one-day trip to Khartoum that included high-level meetings with military leaders, including Sudan’s ruling general, Abdel-Fattah Burhan.
“The agreement is expected to be signed this year and it will be the fourth” such accord, Cohen said, referring to the US-brokered normalisation deals with the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Sudan and Morocco in 2020.
