Sudan normalizes relations with Israel

Sudan has become the 3rd country in the Arab world to normalize relations with Israel in the past couple months, following behind the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain. This was part of a U.S.-brokered accord, and the current Sudanese administration and Israel has been discussing ways to move forward, as well as what comes next from this process.

However, there are some political factions within Sudan that have rejected the accord. As Sudan transitions towards free elections, there still remains steps that are yet to proceed. There has been discussions about the potential discussions on trade related to agriculture and other products, as well as potential migration deals that may be on the table.
