Sudan's Action Is Understandable; Many Arab Countries Have Ties with Israel

(Asharq Al-Awsat-UK) Abdulrahman Al-Rashed - The Muslim Brotherhood, which lost power in Sudan last year, is the main driver behind the intense attack against Sudan and the chairman of its Sovereign Council, Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan, under the pretext of his meeting with the Israeli prime minister in Uganda. More than half of all Arab countries - including Tunisia, Qatar, Morocco, Egypt, Jordan, Oman and others - have dealt with Israel. Political bullying against Arab governments in the name of Palestine or Israel is unacceptable. Everyone is tired of this declining political rhetoric. States have their supreme interests, and sovereign decisions are not to be decided on Twitter. The Iranians involved the previous Sudanese regime in their battles over the years, and the Sudanese people paid a high price for this. Naval and air chases sank Iranian ships off Sudanese ports, and Iranian military training camps were bombed on Sudanese territory. In addition, the crimes of the previous Sudanese regime against its people placed the country on international and U.S. sanctions lists. Sudan does not have many options if it wants to lift these sanctions, move away from the Iranian strategy of conflict, and shift to internal development.
