A delegation from Israel arrived Wednesday for a brief visit in the Sudanese capital of Khartoum, according to a report by Israel’s KAN News public broadcaster.
The delegation made a reported “diplomatic stopover” in the Egyptian Red Sea resort town of Sharm el-Sheikh before continuing on to Khartom, according to the report.
Israel’s Foreign Ministry has neither confirmed nor denied the report.
One year ago, Israel and Sudan signed a normalization agreement, but the document has yet to been ratified by the Sudanese legislature.
The delegation, set to return flight to Israel on Wednesday night, was expected to meet with the country’s top general, Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, Al Arabiya reported, according to KAN News.
Al-Burhan seized power last year in a coup d’etat.
