A Hebrew newspaper said that two Arab countries are holding intensive talks with Israel, mediated by the US, with the aim of announcing the normalization of relations between them and Israel next week.
“Sudan and the Sultanate of Oman are holding intensive talks with Israel, mediated by the US, with the aim of announcing peace agreements next week,” the Maariv newspaper said in a report.
He indicated that the Sultanate of Oman welcomed the two agreements to normalize relations between the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain with Israel in mid-September.
He added that “the last few days have witnessed a great advance in communications between Israel and the Sultanate of Oman, and it was agreed to announce a joint statement on the decision to normalize relations between the two countries soon.”
She said: “The statement will be released next week and if technical difficulties arise, it will be announced the following week.”
There was no comment from the Sultanate of Oman on what the Israeli newspaper reported.
But the newspaper mentioned that the announcement of reaching an agreement between Tel Aviv and Khartoum, “has been postponed until the announcement of the formation of a government and a parliament in Sudan.”
She said: “The United States is pressuring the Sudanese authorities to announce the agreement and not postpone it … As part of the agreement, the United States promised Sudan to remove its name from the US list of countries that support terrorism.”
This comes as the Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Omar Ismail Qamar al-Din, denied, on Thursday night, the validity of the accusations about his country’s intention to normalize its relations with Israel.
Minister Gamaruddin said, at a press conference after his meeting with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, Filippo Grandi, in the city of Geneva, “We look at the normalization of relations with Israel like all other issues. Everyone says Sudan is next, but I don’t see that, and this issue is not discussed at any level in the cabinet. “
On Wednesday, the head of the Sudan Sovereignty Council, Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan, said that his talks with US officials in the Emirates, which continued for 3 days, addressed various issues, including Arab peace with Israel.
Political forces in Sudan announced their resounding rejection of normalization with Israel, amid talks about possible Sudanese normalization after the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain.
The two Gulf countries signed two agreements in Washington on September 15 to normalize their relations with Israel, which were met with widespread Arab popular rejection and accusations of treason to the Palestinian cause, in light of the continued Israeli occupation of Arab lands. .
