The normalization agreement between Israel and Sudan is beginning to take shape, with two Israeli delegations set to depart for Khartoum in the coming weeks.

The first delegation, which will be very limited in size, will be led by a Mossad agent known as "Stronghold" and will arrive in Sudan next week. Stronghold has been at the forefront of Jerusalem's contacts with Khartoum that eventually led to a public announcement by Sudan's leaders that the country would normalize ties with Israel.

A second, larger delegation will depart for Sudan in a few weeks, and will focus its efforts on the fields of development and agriculture.

On Tuesday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday announced that there would be further breakthroughs with additional Arab states in the near future.
