A Sudanese envoy was in Israel on Wednesday in order to promote ties between the two countries, a source with close knowledge of the visit said.

The presidential envoy arrived in Israel at the beginning of the week, the source said. There was no immediate confirmation from Israeli and Sudanese government spokespeople.
Sudan moved toward normalizing ties with Israel in 2020. Envoys have traveled between Israel and Sudan since then, though no official pact has yet been signed.
Sudan's military is seen to have led the move toward Israel while civilian groups have been more reluctant about it.
The Sudanese military seized power in the country on Oct. 25, ending a partnership with civilian political parties that began after the army toppled Omar al-Bashir as Sudan's ruler in 2019.
In January, a business jet carrying an Israeli military delegation reportedly visited the Sudanese capital of Khartoum.
The Saudi Al-Arabiya television channel reported at the time that the Israeli delegation held a meeting with Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, the Sudanese Army general who is also the de facto head of state, as well as with military senior officers in Sudan.
