Immediately after the war, the Arab League conference convened in Khartoum and made a decision according to which Arab states would not agree to peace with Israel, would not agree to negotiations with Israel and would not agree to recognize its sovereignty.
Basis for smuggling
For many years, Sudan hosted Hamas headquarters and was a military and political ally of Iran and Hezbollah.
The Iranians used Sudan as a base for arms smuggling into the Gaza Strip and even set up a huge plant near the capital to build long-range rockets for Hamas and Islamic Jihad.
Between 2008 and 2014, a series of airstrikes were carried out in Sudan over convoys of weapons en route to the Gaza Strip, an Iranian arms ship docked in Port Sudan and a rocket factory near the capital Khartoum.
