Sudan announced last month that it had signed an agreement with the United States to initiate the process of normalizing relations with Israel. Despite fears of domestic pushback, normalization with the Jewish state is in the best interests of Sudan, Israel, and the world at large.
The deal was accompanied by a “memorandum of understanding,” which facilitates the US paying down the struggling country’s debt to the World Bank in an effort to kickstart Sudan’s economy.
As a result of the memorandum, Sudan now will be eligible to collect $1 billion annually from the World Bank for the first time in almost 30 years.
