“We hope that the state of Sudan, which has always been a supporter (people and a government) to Palestine, to hand over the movable and immovable funds that were confiscated to the State of Palestine and its Government,” Hussein Al Sheikh, minister of Civil Affairs in the Palestinian Authority and member of President Mahmoud Abbas’s ruling Fatah movement, said in a tweet.
