Private Israel plane lands in Sudan
A private Israeli plane landed at Khartoum International
Airport yesterday morning following a phone call between Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu and the President of Sudan’s Sovereignty Council, Abdel Fattah
Al-Burhan, reported Arab48.
According to Al-Quds Al-Arabi, a Hawker 800 mid-size and
twinjet plane, with the registration number N84UP, arrived at the principal
airport of the African state.
The report, however, did not provide any information about
the purpose of the flight and those onboard.
This comes after Netanyahu told the cabinet he had spoken
with Al-Burhan to wish him a happy Eid Al-Fitr holiday.
Earlier this year, an Israeli plane flew through Sudanese
airspace for the first time following a meeting between Netanyahu and Al-Burhan
that took place in Uganda.
Sudan has historically been among the fiercest opponents of
Israel. There have never been any official relations between Israel and Arab
countries, except for Egypt and Jordan, both of which signed peace treaties
with the occupation state.
