من الذي زار اسرائيل في الخمسينات ؟؟ عبد الرحمن المهدي ام الصديق المهدي ؟؟

Quote: 4. Politicking in Sudan Sharett noted details about Israel's political involvement in a number of Arab states, including Sudan. On one occasion, the leader of the Al-Umma party from Sudan visited Israel and Sharett met with him, after the Sudanese official had conferred with both Ben-Gurion and Golda Meir. According to Sharett, the two had shown "the enthusiasm of novices" for the visitor. In his diary he described him as Western travelers in Africa do a tribal chief: "The guest is dark brown, nor blacker than black, about 40, cultured in his manners, speaks articulate and in general correct English, though not completely fluent." The Sudanese visitor explained to the Israelis that they and he had a common enemy: Egyptian President Nasser. Sharett: "We promised him a sum of money to purchase a printing press and that we would send someone to look into the possibility of opening a bank in Khartoum." The bank was to be affiliated with an Israeli bank in Europe. Just a few days later Sharett wrote, "I am afraid we are in trouble. We started out talking about trivialities with our interlocutor from the Al-Umma party and ended up with a massive deal. Now we are being asked to come up with large-scale credit for the cotton crop of [Al-Umma leader Sayed Abd al-Rahman] al-Mahdi, which entails an Israel government guarantee to cover losses. Clearly we cannot give such a guarantee, and our refusal will generate disappointment."
