SF Bay Area, CA – Notably, the US has been ratcheting relations between Sudan and Israel to solidify its presence in the Middle East. Recently, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo finished a visit in Sudan to bolster the US-brokered Israel-UAE agreement. Additionally, Sudan requested to removed from the US state sponsors of terrorism list which bans the nation from receiving financing from major international lenders. Aggressively, the US has sought to patch relations with Sudan since the 2019 mass protest that led to the overthrow of leader Omar al-Bashir.

Persistently, Sudanese government spokesman Faisal Saleh mentioned that Sudan's transitional government is unable to bridge ties with Israel. Openly, he stated, "The Prime Minister called on the U.S. administration to separate the process of removing Sudan from the list of states sponsoring terrorism and the issue of normalization with Israel."
