Sudan said it signed the "Abraham Accords" with the U.S., on Wednesday paving the way for the African nation to normalize ties with Israel.
A statement from Sudan's prime minister's office said Justice Minister Nasredeen Abdulbari signed the accord with visiting U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin.
Dubbed ‘The Abraham Accords’, the US-negotiated deals between Muslim countries and Israel are seen as a major foreign policy achievement for President Trump’s administration. They are named after the biblical patriarch Abraham revered by Muslims, Jews, and Christians.
Sudan was the third Arab state to agree to full diplomatic ties after the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, and Morocco became number four late last year.
