According to sources close to the Sovereignty Council speaking to the Arabic edition of i24NEWS, on Saturday, September 26, Sudanese-Israeli Friendship Association will be inaugurated in the Sudanese capital of Khartoum.
The event, where media will be invited for coverage, will set off a normalization process between the two countries, sources told i24NEWS.
