Sudan on Wednesday fired the spokesman for the country’s foreign ministry, a day after he remarked that the African country was looking forward to making a peace deal with Israel. The development comes after last week’s bombshell announcement of a deal between the United Arab Emirates and Israel to normalize relations, which will make the UAE only the third Arab nation, after Egypt and Jordan, to have full ties with Israel. Sudan’s acting Foreign Minister Omar Qamar al-Din said he dismissed Ambassador Haidar Badawi from his post after Badawi said his country was “looking forward to concluding a peace agreement with Israel.”
