Official “Israeli” delegation visits Sudan

SANAA, Jan. 26 (YPA) – An official delegation from the Zionist occupation entity, headed by Intelligence Minister Elie Cohen, visited Sudan for the first time on Monday to discuss moving forward with a US-brokered agreement in October to normalize relations, Reuters reported.

“I am confident this visit lays the foundations for many important collaborations that will assist both Israel and Sudan as well as security stability in the region,” Intelligence Minister Eli Cohen said in a statement after returning home.

Cohen, the first minister to head such a trip, said he met with Sudanese leaders and that the Israeli delegation discussed with their hosts a variety of diplomatic and security issues as well as the potential for economic cooperation.

The Israeli statement stated that the two sides had agreed that a Sudanese delegation would visit Israel.

Sudan joined the UAE, Bahrain and Morocco last year in a move to normalize relations with Israel, while the new US administration has said it wants to build on those agreements.
