Is Sudan pursuing peace deal with Israel too?

Mr al-Sadiq, speaking four days after the United Arab Emirates had become the third Arab country to agree a peace deal with Israel, said there was “no reason” for enmity to continue. “We do not deny the communication between the two countries.” 

In response, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu commented, “Israel, Sudan and the region will all benefit from a peace deal and will be able to build a better future together for all nations of the region.” 

Sudan has never had diplomatic relations with Israel. 

But the possibility began to emerge after Mr Netanyahu met Abdel-Fattah Burhan, the Sudanese general in charge of the transitional administration, in Uganda six months ago.
