Israel sent a delegation to Sudan on Monday for talks on expanding economic and humanitarian cooperation, Reuters reported.

According to the report, a source confirmed that the delegation met with members of the U.S. embassy in Khartoum and a “range of figures” from the Sudanese leadership, but said that the discussion did not deal with a more comprehensive peace treaty between Israel and Sudan.

Instead, it apparently revolved around ways in which Israel could help improve Sudan’s agriculture, food security, water supplies and health care.

U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Oct. 23 that Sudan had agreed to normalize ties with Israel. His announcement came mere weeks after the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain signed the U.S.-brokered Abraham Accords with Israel at the White House on Sept. 15.

“There could have been kids at this kindergarten,” said Rishon Letzion Mayor Raz Kinstlich.
“We are getting very close to meeting our objectives as we consider winding down our great Military efforts in the Middle East with respect to the Terrorist Regime of Iran.”
“We are determined to continue striking our enemies on all fronts,” added the Israeli premier.
The Islamic Republic must open the Strait of Hormuz completely, “without threat,” or the United States will begin targeting its power plants, said the president.
IDF chief says strikes have weakened Iran’s regime and vows to push Hezbollah threat from border as “Operation Roaring Lion” enters fourth week.
“There is damage and there are casualties,” said the Israel Defense Forces.
