Following the United Arab Emirates<\/a> and Bahrain<\/a>, Sudan was set to be the third Arab government to normalise with Israel, encouraged by the US. Now, Sudan claims that it will not normalise with Israel until they are taken off the list of states which “sponsor” terrorism. This comes from the 1998 terrorist attacks on the Kenya and Tanzania US Embassy\u2019s, claiming the lives of 224 men and women. While not directly involved, Sudan was hosting Osama Bin Laden at the time, and Al-Qaeda claimed responsibility for the attacks. It is believed that if Sudan normalizes with Israel, it will help to sideline Iran’s growing influence in the Middle East and marginalise the Palestinian issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The United States needs this move to take place. It is believed that if Sudan normalizes with Israel; it will sideline Iran’s growing influence in the Middle East which the United States could really benefit from. The United States and Iran’s relations have been getting worse in the past couple of years, and if Iran does continue to grow their influence in the Middle East, it would not be good for the United States. Iran has vowed vengeance against the United States after the Trump administration killed Iran’s top military commander, Gen Qasem Soleimani, by a US drone strike in Iraq. A lot of the countries Iran is trying to grow their influence in have economic relations with the United States, which Iran could easily take away if their influence is successful.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n The liberalists must be happy with Sudan nationalizing with Israel. It’s a peaceful way to stop Iran from doing things that can harm the United States. This could be an example of collective security because Sudan and Israel are making an alliance to stop Iranian aggression in the Middle East. If Iran increased their influence in the Middle East, it would not be good for the United States because Iran would probably put sanctions on the United States for things such as oil; this would decrease the United States Sovereignty. This will also keep the realists happy because the United States gets to keep their sovereignty and have other countries do their bidding.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Link to article: https:\/\/www.middleeastmonitor.com\/20201202-sudan-will-not-normalise-with-israel-until-removed-from-us-terror-list\/ Following the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, Sudan was set to be the third Arab government to normalise with Israel, encouraged by the US.
