SUDAN NEWS ALERT: Times of Israel - Sudan’s new FM open to relations with Israel, if Palestinian conflict resolved
The Times of Israel reports that newly appointed Sudanese Foreign Minister Asma Abdullah suggested on Sunday that Khartoum would be interested in establishing relations with Israel if the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is resolved, and said that most Arab states maintain some degree of ties with Israel.
Asked by Al Jazeera in a televised interview whether Sudan and Israel would establish ties, Abdullah, said: “Now is not the time.”
Abdullah noted that most Arab state “in one way or another” have ties to Israel, but stated that “until unresolved issues are resolved,” a normalization of Sudanese-Israeli ties is out of the question.
Abdullah’s comments come a few days after newly appointed Sudanese Religious Affairs Minister Nasr al-Din Mufrah called on Jews to return to Sudan.
