Less than a day has passed since US President Donald Trump, President of the Sudanese Sovereignty Council, Abdul-Fatah al-Burhan and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced the establishment of relations between Israel and Sudan, and the Iranian axis is already in a hurry to sharply attack the agreement.
A statement from the Iranian Foreign Ministry said that the agreement was "fake" and that it constituted a "betrayal" of the rights of the Palestinians.
"If you pay enough ransom, and close your eyes to crimes against the Palestinian people, the United States will remove you from the list of countries that support terrorism. It is now clear that this list is as fake as the United States' war on terror. It is a shame."
Iran's allies in Yemen were also quick to condemn the agreement.
The foreign minister of the Houthi rebel government, Hisham Sharaf, said at a news conference: "Sudan's new heads of government want to declare normalization with Israel.
Hamas also expressed opposition to the agreement in a brief statement: "We express our anger at the normalization that is not appropriate for Sudan in terms of its people, history and status and its role as a state that supported Palestine, the issue and the resistance."
Iran and the terrorist organization Hamas were both allies of the previous regime in Sudan led by dictator Omar al-Bashir.
Al-Bashir's regime allowed Hamas and its Iranian patrons to establish a weapons industry in the country, weapons that were later sent to the Gaza Strip.
US President Donald Trump yesterday announced normalization between Israel and Sudan.
Trump thanked the leaders during the conversation and said, "The peace agreement is a tremendous achievement of courage and leadership."
He added: "You were in a state of war with Sudan and now not only has the deal been signed, there is also peace. And that's nice. You know what it cost to the United States? Nothing. Is that nice? It's like Kosovo and Serbia. We're making a Bibi swap deal," he said. The President.
