A representative of the current Sudanese military government is secretly visiting Israel, reports the Kan public broadcaster.
According to the report, the government representative is seeking “to advance relations between the countries.”
Last month, Kan also reported that an Israeli delegation was visiting Sudan to meet with Sudan’s top general, Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, who seized power in a coup last year.
Sudan and Israel agreed to normalize ties last year, although progress has been slow amid government instability and anti-Israel sentiment among the public.
