and prolonging the lack of relations only harms Sudan and not the Jewish state.
Yousuf Al-Koda, head of the Islamic Wasat Party, delivered a speech entitled "The Relations with Israel ‐ Religious Aspects" in the Sudanese capital of Khartoum earlier this month.
News website Sudanese Online, in an article translated by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), quoted Al-Koda as saying "the occupation of the Al-Aqsa Mosque does not prevent establishing relations with Israel."
"The fact that Jerusalem is in the hands of the Jews should not prevent us from maintaining ties with them," he said.
The cleric added that establishing diplomatic ties with Israel was "perfectly permissible according to the Muslim sharia" law. The prophet Muhammed’s own actions attest to this fact, because he signed agreements with infidels, Al-Koda said. |
