| [IsraelTimes] Sudan’s Burhan urges further cooperation amid stalled normalization process; no details on call with Jordan’s King Abdullah II, who had frosty ties with Netanyahu during last term in power The call was Netanyahu’s latest with a foreign leader since his right-religious bloc won a majority of seats in the November 1 vote, amid international hand-wringing over his far-right coalition partners. Netanyahu’s office also said Monday that he received a congratulatory letter from Sudan’s military ruler, Gen. Abdel Fattah al-Burhan. Monday’s call with Abdullah came after Netanyahu spoke with several other leaders of Arab states that have ties with Israel, including UAE President and Abu Dhabi ruler Mohammed Bin Zayed, and Bahraini Crown Prince and Prime Minister Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa. The normalization process with Sudan has been largely frozen amid political turmoil in Khartoum that saw the military carry out a coup last year, ending a two-year power-sharing arrangement aimed at paving the way to civilian rule. Nonetheless, military leader al-Burhan has expressed interest in pushing normalization and even visiting Israel. The incoming premier has not yet spoken with the leaders of Morocco or Egypt, which in 1979 became the first Arab state to sign a peace treaty with Israel. Netanyahu was formally tasked with forming a government on Sunday and has been holding coalition negotiations with his ultra-Orthodox and far-right allies, who together with his Likud party will hold 64 of 120 seats in the next Knesset. |
