Peace deal between Israel and Sudan - Peace in the Middle East without bloodshed

- Shalom! Salam aleikum! "For such a time as this" (Hadassa Esther 4:14) President Donald Trump: “This is an incredible deal for Israel and Sudan.” “This is a new era. An era of true peace" (Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu)

"Israel and Sudan agreed to normalize ties in a U.S.-brokered deal on Friday, the White House said, ending decades of hostility as one of Africa’s largest countries joined a broader diplomatic realignment in the Middle East. The deal helps Sudan emerge from international isolation after the U.S. sanctioned it in the 1990s for harboring al Qaeda’s then-leader, Osama bin Laden, and aiding terrorist groups. The agreement was announced at the White House by President Trump, who spoke on a conference call to leaders of the two countries and called the deal “peace in the Middle East without bloodshed.”

“The State of Israel and the Republic of Sudan have agreed to make peace,” Mr. Trump said. “This is an incredible deal for Israel and Sudan.”

"The peace deal between Israel and Sudan highlights Israel’s changing standing in the Middle East. Sudan hosted the Arab League summit after the 1967 Arab-Israeli war in which eight Arab nations approved what became known as the “Three No’s,”—no peace with Israel, no recognition of Israel and no negotiations with Israel."
