A cease fire deal in geneva the biggest step yet towards peace after nearly a decade of war. I appeal to all stakeholders and regional actors due respect to provisions of the ceasefire agreement and ensured its implementation we dont delay. And Foreign Ministers of mania and azerbaijan meet separately with the u. S. Secretary of state to defuse tensions over in a going to cut about. The breaking news this friday is that sudan has become the latest country to normalize its ties with israel under a deal brokered by the United States president made the announcement from the white house few hours ago the 3rd such deal in just 2 months remember previous the United Arab Emirates and behind agreed to normalize their ties with israel earlier this week a deal was also struck to remove sudan from the list of state sponsors of terrorism. And they wanted to do a deal and that was it particularly nice because they essentially bettered war with israel for. A long time i dont know if it was fighting i dont know that but probably theres been a little bit but certainly its been for many years youve been officially at war with sudan and now its not only to do it but its peace so thats official and thats you know we have at least 5 that want to come in for correspondents to take us through this story here they all hit morgan in khartoum sudan harry force in west jerusalem in israel made abraham is in ramallah in the occupied west bank with starting in washington where the announcement was made not long ago alan fischer as our correspondent at the white house not a massive surprise because we had heard the idea of more arab nations joining this list of countries to normalize their ties with israel but its another. Win for donald trump and effectively. And that had to be choreographed as well essentially donald trump ministrations said this is been in the process for a number of years the Sudanese Government has agreed to pay 335000000. 00 in compensation to the victims of the east African Embassy attacks back in 1908 the attack on the u. S. S. Cole and the family of a murdered diplomat who was killed in sudan in the early part of the century that money put into an account once that was done that a low donald trump to send it to congress saying that he wanted to remove the designation as a state sponsor of terrorism from sudan that goes to congress they have 45. 00 days to consider that and perhaps lord an objection once that designation is removed that then allows other countries other entities to do business with the sudanese and that he is the way for israel to go ahead and carry out normal relations with them particularly when it comes to forging agricultural deals which seems to be top of the list so a slow process that got them here youre right at donald trump seems to be approaching the middle east not with one all encompassing deal like many of his predecessors but instead doing small bits trying to put together a jigsaw he did it with what was called the Abraham Accords a deal where the United Arab Emirates and bahrain recognized israel that was signed here at the white house just last month although it seems a lot longer than that and now he has sit down and says there will be some former deal potentially in the next couple of weeks is about to take off you can probably hear the helicopter in the background but hell see this as a big when the fact that it moves sudan from the state sponsors of terrorism list wont really resignation with with voters but if you can tell the people who are about to cast their vote that the security 135000000. 00 for the victims of terrorism that will seem like a big win also donald trump insisting. This is that we you change the reality on the ground in the middle east that means its blood in the trees you several times used to get in that phone call just a couple of hours ago he thinks this is moving american interests by certainly normalized deals with israel thank you alan fischer at the white house were moving on to. The sudanese capital morgan allen davis a good out of the deal which led to the not so much the normalizing relations but the lifting or the removal of sudan from the list of state sponsors of terror is the most probably the most Important News out of this. Yes indeed because my lifting sudan out of the u. S. List of state sponsors of terror means improvement incidentally economy maybe not immediately like the acting minister of finance said on tuesday following the announcement from u. S. President donald trump that he will be lifting off that list but they say that within the coming months they will expect the Banking Systems to open internationally so that sudanese can transact between sudan and other countries they also expect that this would be a way for them to be able to basically get loans from the International Monetary fund and the world bank and it will also help them be able to clear their debt of more than 60000000000 dollars thats what the government is hoping to achieve by being lifted out of the u. S. List of states hanss of terror of course sudans our Prime Minister has welcomed the steps when President Donald Trump announced it on monday he again welcomed the step that the u. S. President took in notifying congress to deal with sudan in the next 45 days but we have not heard any reaction yet from the sudanese in terms of normalizing ties with israel thats something that no official has commented on yet today it seems to be very quiet but the Prime Minister has previously stated that he is very worried about taking such a step because this is a Transitional Government not an elected government. And its a government of a coalition of various Political Parties with various of various ideologies various leanings so there are concerns about how strong this. Will remain after this announcement after this normalization step that has been taken by the Prime Minister of the 100 and by the head of the Sovereignty Council and then for the head for home thank you have a morgan in khartoum before we speak to our correspondent in west jerusalem lets hear from Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu he was on the phone with donald trump when the announcement was made. There. Are forces in west jerusalem now we cant really say that israel and sudans relations were very bad or hostile so its questionable maybe what israel gets out of this but i guess it does get a 3rd arab nation which has said yes will normalize our relations with you. Yes i mean for nothing yahoo this is a hugely symbolic 3rd such agreement hes been working towards these sorts of normalization agreements throughout his 2nd period in office from 2009 onwards and as he said to get 3 in such a search short space of time is something that he wants to signal to the israeli public as another major victory he talked about the 3 knows the famous 3 nos of the arab league in 167 in khartoum no to peace with israel no to negotiations and no to recognition of israel now turning into 3 yeses and he also wants to talk about the Practical Impacts of these sorts of deals saying that they will lead to better trade relationships with these countries and therefore bring down the very high cost of living in israel as a result he wants to try and get some credit for this which is generally supported in the israeli public but his poll numbers are down because of the Current Situation and his management of the kovac 90 impact and they make it is the detail of the statement it doesnt yet at least talk about diplomatic relations and embassies in reciprocal countries thats different from the initial agreement announced between for example United Arab Emirates and israel back in august very 4 sets in western roussillon with that updates and finally we moved to in the occupied west bank his need abrahams of the 3 nos are gone as harry was saying there and they palestinians left wondering well whos next. This is what the palestinian leadership has been saying since then you wait he announced its going to be normalizing relations with israel that more countries are going to be following it and this is what happened with him by joining the u. A. E. And signing the deal with israel and though so then who knows whos going to be the next its worth mentioning that this is the 1st african state to be normalizing to nations with not only talking about the gulf and that could be threatening as far as felson years are concerned more normalization deals with israel the palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas issued a statement condemning the so then announcement of not ready they should relations with israel saying that the way and path to peace should only. International law which is when israel and its occupation of palestinian lands the arab league where the 3 nos were born and know to normalization nor to take of mission or peace negotiations with israel before it ends its occupation has failed to adopt a resolution suggested by the palestinians to condemn normalization and for them they feel that theyve been left alone especially amidst the Trump Administration that has been giving more and more as questions are concerned more gifts to the israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu weve heard also from a senior. At the how he said that normalization wont be helping sudan but it will give israel the chance to use up and take up its resources which speaking to weve spoken to a couple of political analysts in the know here and they believe that posting in the backs are against the wall they are living in a very poor Economic Situation poor political situation they feel that or they heat they say that the region has been not supporting the palace. As they were before and they can only hope that trump would not get tekken term in office neda abraham running out of correspondence coverage of this story shes in ramallah in the occupied west bank dont trump we saw in the oval office earlier on his phone call with Prime Minister netanyahu this is what hes popped on twitter as well a couple of screen shots of the deal a huge win today for the United States and for peace in the world sudans agreed to a peace a normalization agreement with israel with the United Arab Emirates and behind thats 3 arab countries to have done so in only a matter of weeks more will follow he says a senior political analyst is mown bashar joining us now. To cold its a huge win for the United States would be a bit of a stretch would it not its definitely a big win for israel facilitated by the United States absolutely and its having clear for everyone that the american secretary of state is working on behalf of the new governor she stopped calling him the israeli secretary d of state because you certainly been very busy shuttling in the various characters in the arab world in order to secure a deal to the left and you know governments knowing all too well that this will only weaken the better senior position. And yet in the end of the day the United States knows all too well that peace in the middle east is not going to be secure without peace with the palestinians and the palestinians as weve just heard from our d correspondent there marla have already condemned and such steps but they also understand that these steps are not really main goodwill on behalf of the sudanese people but the other part of blackmail by washington to a fragile government that fragile Higher Military Council and my fear is. In relation to sit down that im like what weve heard of our democracy is than that this will be used by the generals sabbaton to secure their position in the future of sudan arent as good on tours or any such peace or minimization. So i see it as a setback force of that size because of anything this will strengthen but generals position reserve the then you will more Democratic Civil society that is trying to chart a new way forward but what about from the u. S. Perspective no one and i guess more specifically from Donald Trumps perspective he will of course top these as huge success as he calls them peace deals but can he actually the just make the argument hes achieving more in the middle east than pasta ministrations have. Well i mean look for example that carter secured for his partner secured the biggest most important ordinance. In the business which is egypt so already some 40 some years ago 41 years ago the Carter Administration secured a peace. Between egypt and israel it was a shameful and the 99. 00 days president clinton secured the palestinians and the jordanians. So various administrations have done various things im just not sure that these steps that have come mostly to blackmail have global. Future in the region because for the last 60 plus years since the socalled cut to nose took place. At the back all the terrible war 6 that war thats been going on for 60 years now. Everyone understands that region is basically falling apart that the region is divided and if any big. Company decision has used then the visions in that weakness and region were there to secure the position of certain dictators so than one 3rd 1000000000. 00 in the region in order to normalize with so on in order for me this looks all of it for the shaky ground because none of it is not being in any way the full and deliberate. Peaceful steps based on justice israel is in fact he was the socalled american success in the region to further its occupation of palestine and in fact weve heard today from the special envoy to izzard palestine that the common message and continues to support an extension of president that the so really i see no justice and not even beasts who are Going Forward by the pump and the situation on the sciara our senior political analyst here at aljazeera thank you mo and. 17 minutes past this news hour here is whats coming up spains spreading coronavirus outbreak the Prime Minister reveals the number of cases there could be 3 times the official counts. Speaking out with silence jailed opposition activists protest against alleged Human Rights Violations in the prisons of nicaragua and gareth bale make his 1st start since returning to spurs the latest in the Europa League is coming up in the sport. On to one of the other big stories of the day something praised as historic but still received by many with caution this is libyas warring sides agreeing to what the United Nations is calling a permanent ceasefire it was signed in geneva after nearly a decade of conflict triggered by the downfall of longtime leader Moammar Gadhafi the support for mohammed junction. After 5 days of un hosted talks a historic breakthrough libyas warring factions signing a National Cease fire today is a good day for the libyan people. At 11 15 am this morning here in the u. N.

Under the terms all foreign fighters are required to leave libya within 3 months and a new joint police force will start patrolling disputed areas.

And while repeated attempts for a un brokered cease fire failed in the past this round has seen both sides agree to reopen land and air routes across frontlines still many questions remain unanswered then to be. Arrangements on the ground its going to be monitored how it will be done independent a mood of optimism may now exist but the coming weeks and months are likely to reveal whether this is a lasting peace. And. More on this now with our diplomatic at the james bays his at the United Nations in new york. Theyre pushing the Positive Side they know that cease fires in the middle east are always very fragile very shaky things and theyre particularly concerned about the International Dimension about International Countries meddling in the affairs of libya thats been the long concern of the u.
