Israel boycott law abolished

Sudan's Cabinet has approved a Bill abolishing a 1958 law on boycotting Israel. This after Khartoum and the Jewish state struck a deal to normalise ties. ‘The Council of Ministers approved a Bill repealing the 1958 boycott of Israel law,’ it said in a statement. A report on the News24 site notes that it also emphasised its firm position on the establishment of a Palestinian state ‘within the framework of a two-state solution’. The 1958 law was in line with the policies of Arab nations at the time towards Israel. Sudan, along with Gulf countries and Morocco, have built bridges with the Jewish state in deals mediated by the administration of former US President Donald Trump. Sudan agreed to normalise ties with Israel in October, in a quid pro quo for Washington removing the country from its ‘state sponsors of terrorism’ blacklist months later.
