Sudan’s Justice Minister Nasredeen Abdulbari signed an agreement with US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin on Wednesday agreeing to normalize ties with Israel as part of the Trump administration’s Abraham Accords initiative.
“I would like to congratulate Sudan’s Chairman Al Burhan, [Prime Minister Abdalla] Hamdok, and Minister Abdulbari on today’s historic signing of the Abraham Accords,” Avi Berkowitz, a White House adviser who worked on the agreement with Trump adviser and son-in-law Jared Kushner, tweeted Wednesday. “Their courageous action will strengthen peace and stability in the region and help bring about a better future for its people.”
