Two Israeli diplomats arrive in Sudan as talks of normalization near – foreign ministry source

KHARTOUM – Two senior Israeli diplomats have arrived in the Sudanese capital Khartoum on Wednesday evening after Sudan reportedly consented to normalization of ties with the Jewish state, according to a foreign ministry source.

The Sudanese diplomatic source who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was ‘not allowed to talk to the media on the matter’, said the unnamed Israeli diplomats, along with their aides, were accompanied to Khartoum by one Emirati diplomat and a Saudi security officer.

“This evening, two officials from the Israeli ministry of foreign affairs arrived in Khartoum. They [came]together with a foreign ministry colleague from [United Arab] Emirates and a security official from Saudi [Arabia],” the source said.

“They will stay here and they will return tomorrow (Thursday) night and a lot about the process (normalization) will be discuss so that as soon as the US delist our country from terror designation, we will then publicly announce talks to begin,” the official added.

The foreign ministry declined to publicly comment on the alleged visit.
