Monday’s meeting between the leaders of Israel and Sudan has thrown Khartoum’s rulers into disarray, and stoked tensions between the various factions making up the Sudanese government.
For Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the dialogue with General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, head of Sudan’s ruling Sovereign Council, was a clear victory. The two discussed normalisation of ties between two countries that have had zero diplomatic relations since the 1948 Nakba.
“History!” Netanyahu tweeted in Hebrew.

Clashes erupted late last year between forces from both sides.
