Sheikh Nasser Ridda of Hizb ut-Tahrir Sudan said in a Friday, February 3, 2023 sermon in Sudan that was posted to the Hizb ut-Tahrir Wilayat Sudan YouTube channel that Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan, the Chairman of Sudan’s Transitional Sovereignty Council, has committed treason by recently meeting with Israel’s Foreign Minister Eli Cohen, by previously meeting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and by giving Israel’s Defense Minister access to Sudan’s defense industries. Sheikh Ridda also said that the Jews occupied Palestine so that they could use Palestinian land to cultivate and manufacture drugs, which he claimed they traffic through Egypt and Jordan. He claimed that Israel is the number-one drug trafficker in the world, and that Israel traffics drugs in order to use people as traitors and collaborators.
