American, Emirati and Sudanese officials are will hold a “decisive” meeting in Abu Dhabi today to discuss normalizing diplomatic relations between Sudan and Israel, the Walla news site reports.
Quoting Sudanese officials, the report says that if the US agrees to Sudan’s requests for aid, an announcement that Sudan will normalize ties with Israel will likely be made in the coming days.
The Sudanese officials say Khartoum has three demands for normalization: The supply of wheat and fuel worth $1.2 billion; the receipt of a $2 billion loan to stabilize its economy; and a pledge of financial assistance for the next three years.
Additionally, Sudan is seeking to be removed from the US list of state sponsors of terrorism.
The report also says Prime Minister Netanyahu discussed the establishment of ties between Israel and Sudan when he was in Washington last week for the signing of the normalization agreements with the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain.
