AMMAN — The Sudanese army's attacks on paramilitaries
resemble those of "terrorist" Palestinian attacks on Israel, an
official from
Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces (RSF) told Israeli media on Monday,
according to the New Arab.

"What we are exposed to, Israel has suffered thousands
of times from terrorist groups, such as Hamas and other factions that Israeli
citizens know well," Youssef Ezzat, an advisor to
RSF commander Mohamed Hamdan Daglo told Israel’s Kan broadcaster.
His comments appeared to be an attempt by the RSF to gain
Israeli favor. The RSD is a paramilitary group that has been involved in fierce
clashes with the Sudanese army since 15 April and at least 427 people have been
killed.
‘Criminal person’Ezzat called for Burhan to be prosecuted, accusing him of
conspiring with an unnamed "Islamist Movement" in order to
"strike civilians".
"This is a criminal person, and the
decision to stop the war is not in the hands of Burhan, but in the hands of the Islamist
organization," he said, without specifying which Islamist group he was
referring to.
"We say to the Israeli people that what we are being
exposed to, and what Khartoum and the Rapid Support Forces are being subjected
to, is an attack that was exploited by the army and the Islamic gang,"
Daglo's advisor added.
Israeli mediationEzzat welcomed a reported mediation by Israel in the
Sudanese conflict. He said that the two countries were bound by the so-called
"Abraham Accords" refusing to confirm or deny the reports that Israel
had made direct contacts with Hemedti.
Sudan agreed to normalize relations with Israel in 2020
following heavy pressure from the administration of former US President Donald
Trump. The UAE, Bahrain, and Morocco all normalized relations with Israel that
year under the controversial Abraham Accords.
However, unlike those countries, Sudan has not exchanged
ambassadors with Israel and the Sudanese population remains largely opposed to
normalizing relations.
Israeli diplomats have been communicating with both Burhan
and Hemedti as part of mediation efforts, according to an Israeli official,
with the aim of de-escalating the situation and creating conditions for the
establishment of a civilian government.
Countries have evacuated thousands of their citizens, but
many are still stuck in Khartoum, with fears mounting that a catastrophic
humanitarian disaster could ensue from the fighting.
