The Israeli Foreign Ministry officials said both al-Burhan and Hemedti didn’t rule out the Israeli proposal and gave off the impression that they were both considering it positively. Israel coordinated its efforts with the Biden administration and countries in the region like the United Arab Emirates and briefed them about the proposal, the Israeli Foreign Ministry officials said. A U.S. official confirmed the Biden administration was briefed on the proposal.
Israel also has motivation. Israeli officials told Axios last week they are highly concerned that the current fighting will devastate the country, prevent the formation of a civilian government, and end any prospects for a peace agreement between Israel and Sudan.The recent fighting in Sudan, now in its 10th day, erupted as growing tensions between al-Burhan and Hemedti boiled over.
