The cabinet said in a statement: “During this visit, Mr. Pompeo presented the US offer of recognition and normalization with Israel as a condition for removing Sudan from the list.”
He added: “The US side suggested that President (US Donald) Trump and Israeli Prime Minister (Benjamin Netanyahu) make a four-way phone call to congratulate the Chairman of the Sovereignty Council, Lieutenant General Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan and to the Prime Minister (Abdullah Hamdok) and announce an agreement of principles. Between Sudan and Israel to normalize relations. “
The statement said that “it was agreed to prepare an agreement between the two parties on the issue of restoring relations between Sudan and Israel, and it will be decided by the Legislative Council.”
Pompeo visited Sudan in late August as part of a regional tour and was the first US Secretary of State to visit this country in 15 years.
On Friday, Khartoum confirmed the normalization of its relations with Israel and “the end of the state of hostility between them,” according to a tripartite statement issued by Sudan, the United States and Israel, which was broadcast on Sudanese state television, and the agreement was qualified as “historical”.
Earlier on Sunday, Sudan’s Foreign Ministry announced that “a joint meeting between Sudan and Israel will be held in the” next few weeks “to discuss prospects for cooperation.
Sudan’s Foreign Ministry said in a statement that “it was agreed that delegations from the two countries will meet in the coming weeks to negotiate cooperation agreements in the fields of agriculture, trade, economy, aviation, immigration matters and others. “.
“The two countries agreed to work together to build a better future and support the cause of peace in the region,” he added.
The normalization of relations between the Hebrew state and Sudan has great symbolism. After the 1967 war, during which Israel occupied the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip, as well as the Sinai and Golan, most Arab leaders met at a summit in Khartoum where they passed a resolution known as the ” Three No “, which is” neither peace nor peace “. Confess and do not negotiate with the Hebrew state. “
Sudan has no borders with Israel and played a limited role in the Arab-Israeli conflict.
Last February, President Al-Burhan held a meeting with Netanyahu in Uganda.
