Israel and Sudan said that they are working on an agreement to formalize relations, in the latest sign of warmer ties between Arab nations and a former enemy
TEL AVIV—Israel and Sudan said Tuesday that they were working on an agreement to formalize relations, in the latest sign of warmer ties between Arab nations and a former enemy.
While Israel already has diplomatic relations with Egypt and Jordan, the U.A.E. last week became the first Gulf Arab state to announce. Arab states have historically refused formal diplomatic ties with Israel while its conflict with the Palestinians has remained unresolved. But a variety of factors, from security to commercial, have brought the sides closer in a reorientation of the Middle East. Shared enmity with Iran—and a burgeoning commercial relationship—have underpinned the Israeli and Emirati rapprochement.
Khartoum is hoping ties with U.S. ally Israel could help remove Sudan from Washington’s list of state sponsors of terror, according to officials in neighboring Uganda, which hosted an unannounced meeting of Israel and Sudan’s leaders in February. After that meeting, officials said that they agreed to cooperate to move toward normalization, but the Emirati announcement appeared to bolster the process.
