US Brokers Normalisation Of Relations Between Israel And Sudan

MIDEAST

US President Donald Trump has announced that Sudan will become a signatory to the Abraham Accords, normalising relations with Israel.

  • Sudan becomes the third Muslim nation to sign the Accords alongside the UAE and Bahrain.
  • Sudanese gov'ts move comes a day after the US State Department began to remove Sudan from its 'state sponsors of terrorism' list.
  • The normalisation of relations between Israel and Sudan has important historic symbolism, as it was at a summit in the Sudanese capital Khartoum in 1967 that the Arab League agreed not to recognise the state of Israel.
  • The announcement comes as another feather in US President Trump's foreign policy cap, although it is unlikely to prove a significant enough moment to revive his foundering re-election campaign.
  • There remains significant speculation that Saudi Arabia could become a signatory to the Abraham Accords, a foreign policy move that would be truly groundbreaking in the Middle East.
