Sudan: Why Is Israel Rejecting General Al-Burhan's Outstretched Hand
Sudan: Why Is Israel Rejecting General Al-Burhan's Outstretched Hand?By: Charilogone Editorial Staff
General Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan, head of the Sudanese transitional government, has met with a categorical rejection from Israel regarding his recent attempts at rapprochement. There are several reasons for this stance.
First, the transitional government led by Al-Burhan is increasingly isolated on the international stage. Major powers, such as the United States, England, and most European states, reject his regime due to its association with radical Islamists, which runs counter to their counterterrorism efforts.
Second, in his fight against the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), Al-Burhan has allied himself with controversial factions, notably the Kezanz, a tribe in northern Sudan historically opposed to an equitable distribution of the country's wealth. While these alliances strengthen his position against General Hameti, they also include Sudanese Islamists linked to extremist networks such as ISIS and the former Bin Laden network. This situation is reminiscent of the Omar al-Bashir regime, under which radical Islamists were notoriously hostile to Israel.
Finally, last week, Al-Burhan and his allies attempted to draw closer to Israel, hoping to divert its attention from Middle Eastern and Maghreb countries that support Islamists. However, Israel remains determined to combat these networks and their financiers. The intentions of Al-Burhan and his allies are perceived as a manipulative attempt aimed at gaining time to prepare for a possible conflict with Israel.
Israel will not accept the outstretched hand of a signatory to the Abraham Accords if that country or its leaders are allied with radical Islamists or nations calling for its destruction.
Some experts believe that Israel is at a crucial turning point in its history. They argue that it is time for the country to definitively neutralize all forces hostile to its existence.
In a context of acute economic crisis, a war with Israel would be disastrous for Sudan's allies, notably Egypt, Iran, and others. But can Israel afford to trust a regime whose alliances and intentions remain so ambiguous?
Currently, in Sudan, and with a view to a peace dialogue, there is talk of the immediate establishment of a civilian peacekeeping government. This government would be based on respect for the country's various social and political strata, in order to end this harmful war.
The goal of Sudan's allies in this conflict appears to be to distract Israel from its fight against fundamentalists, while secretly building their own deterrent forces against the State of Israel and the Jews. Al-Burhan's request or initiative to sign the Abraham Accords does not appear to have come from him, but rather from those who support him.
Can Israel afford to let its guard down in such a context?
