Israel in Contact with Sudan
(Jerusalem Post) Tovah Lazaroff - In the past, Dore Gold, who served as director-general of Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, had opposed the idea of peace with Sudan because of former president Omar Hassan Ahmad al-Bashir's genocidal actions in the Darfur region of his country. "Since the State of Israel was born in the shadow of the Holocaust, that is not the kind of issue you can be cavalier about," he said. Once Bashir was removed from power in 2019, that created a new situation for Israel, said Gold, who is president of the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs.
