MojNews- The United Arab Emirates ( UAE ) organized the meeting between Israeli premier and Sudan’s sovereign council head, according to an Israeli daily.

On Monday, Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu and Sudan’s Abdel-Fattah Al-Burhan met in Uganda for talks.

The Times of Israel newspaper, which quoted a “high-ranked” Sudanese military official, reported Monday that the UAE organized the meeting.

The Sudanese official was cited as saying that only a “small circle” of senior officials in Sudan, Saudi Arabia and Egypt were informed about the meeting. The official spoke on condition of anonymity as not authorized to speak to the media.

The source added that al-Burhan agreed to meet Netanyahu because officials thought that this would help to "accelerate" the process of removing Sudan from the U.S. terror list.
