It is worth mentioning that, last Friday, Israel and Sudan agreed to normalize relations in an agreement brokered by the United States, making Sudan the third Arab country to establish relations with Israel within two months.

As part of the agreement, Trump took steps to remove Sudan from the United States’ list of state sponsors of terrorism.
