As the United States and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) look to Sudan as possibly the next Arab country to sign a normalization agreement with Israel, Hamas is hoping that Khartoum will stay true to its support for the Palestinians. 

The United States is presently negotiating Sudan’s removal from its designation as a foreign terrorist organization.
