The Israeli government intends to send its first official delegation to Sudan next Sunday to promote the process of normalizing relations between the two countries, according to Reuters.
This came according to what the agency quoted, according to a source familiar with the initial plans of the Israeli delegation.
The source refused to reveal its identity to Reuters or to give more details.
The office of Israel`s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Sudanese officials refused to comment on what the source said.
The day after the announcement of the agreement to normalize relations between Tel Aviv and Khartoum under the auspices of US President Donald Trump, Netanyahu said that an Israeli delegation will head to Sudan.
On 23 October, the leaders of the United States, Israel, and Sudan announced in a joint statement that Khartoum and Tel Aviv had reached an agreement to normalize relations between them.
The statement added that the concluded agreement provides for the establishment of economic and commercial relations between Israel and Sudan, with an initial focus on agriculture.
Sudan is the fifth Arab country to sign an agreement to normalize relations with Israel, following Abu Dhabi and Manama in mid-September.
In 1994, Jordan signed a peace agreement with Israel, and in 1979 Egypt did.
