Sudan, a country of 51,662,147 population which is 0.63% of the world population while Israel is 0.02%Israel and Sudan signed a normalization agreement in October, 2020.
This agreement is more complicated than the others because Sudan's government is going through a transition with the stated goal of becoming more democratic.
There are some difficulties in implementing a normalization agreement, namely that Sudan must first repeal a domestic law that prohibits relations with Israel. Progress has also been slowed by opposition from some groups in Sudan and a precarious transition in the government. Right now Sudan is involved in war.
On January 6, 2021, the government of Sudan signed the "Abraham Accords Declaration" in Khartoum. On February 2, 2023, Israel and Sudan announced they had finalized an agreement to normalize relations, with the signing to take place after the establishment of a civilian government in Sudan. United Arab Emirate shows tension over his leadership and the Sudanese army more broadly.
According to a report, he conveyed al-Burhan’s desire to complete the normalization process between the two countries and formally sign the Abraham Accords, in exchange for Israeli support in the next phase. Now, Sudan seeks help from Israel for military support. In return, they will join the Abraham Accords. Do they realize that Israel is fighting against 7 fronts and is a little busy right now? They seems to have their hands full, like Sudan.
Al-Sadiq Ismail, envoy of military leader Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, offers to finalize Abraham Accords and address Iran outreach tensions in exchange with aid in fight against rebel militias.
South Sudan’s political landscape is fragile and recent violence between government troops and armed opposition groups has escalated tensions. Last week, United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres urged regional and international leaders to prevent South Sudan from falling “over the abyss” into another civil war. Guterres warned that the world’s newest and one of its poorest countries is facing “a security emergency” with intensifying clashes and a “political upheaval” culminating with last week’s arrest by the government of First Vice President Riek Machar.
Here it is, plain and simple:
On October 23, 2020, Israel and Sudan agreed to normalize ties;
On January 6, 2021, the government of Sudan signed the "Abraham Accords Declaration" in Khartoum.
The agreement is unratified as of 2024. As part of the agreement, the US removed Sudan from its list of state sponsors of terrorism and gave them a US$1.2 billion loan.
Frankly, I would not take this new offer. It would be wonderful to have an additional Muslim country belong to the Abraham Accords, but this is not the time to take on more fighting. Israel has enough, thank you. Anyway, anyone joining the Accords should be deeply enthusiastic about the whole idea.
I would hope, of joining in peace a Muslim country with the remaining and only Jewish country of Israel who kept a record of their people and their 12 tribes along with their own records in the Torah. It even includes why we split up before the religions were defined with the family spat that became so serious. UAE has been a good member of the Abraham Accords and has worked well with Israel.
