KHARTOUM: Sudan cast doubt on Tuesday on an early normalisation of historically hostile ties with Israel, a day after Israeli officials said the two countries’ leaders had met and were working towards that goal. Sudan’s cabinet on Tuesday discussed that meeting, which it said it had not yet been informed about. Israeli officials said on Monday that Netanyahu had met Sudan sovereign council head Abdel Fattah al-Burhan for two hours in Uganda. The US listing has impeded badly needed international financial assistance and commercial activity in Sudan. US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo thanked Burhan by phone “for his leadership in normalizing ties with Israel,” his spokesperson said on Monday, and Washington has invited Burhan to visit later this year.
