Prime Minister Netanyahu, on the declaration of normalization between Israel and Sudan:
“Today we announce another dramatic breakthrough for peace, another Arab state joining the circle of peace. This time, it is normalization between Israel and Sudan. What a great turnaround!
In Khartoum, the capital of Sudan, in 1967 the Arab League adopted its three ‘No’s’: ‘No to peace with Israel, no to recognition of Israel and no to negotiations with Israel.'
However, today Khartoum has said, ‘Yes to peace with Israel, yes to recognition of Israel and yes to normalization with Israel.’ This is a new era, an era of true peace, a peace that is expanding with other Arab countries, with three of them joining in recent weeks.
Delegations from Israel and Sudan will meet soon to discuss cooperation in many areas, including agriculture, trade and other areas important to our citizens.
The skies of Sudan are open to Israel today. This allows for direct and shorter flights between Israel and Africa and South America.

I thank the Chairman of the Sovereignty Council of Sudan, Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, and Sudanese Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok.
I would like to again thank President @realDonaldTrump and his team for their part in this historic move. We are expanding the circle of peace. What excitement; there should be more."

Yesterday we took a step toward a historic peace between Israel and Sudan. I thank Chairman of the Sovereignty Council al-Burhan and Sudanese PM Hamdok for their historic decisions. Above all, I thank President @realDonaldTrump and his team with whom we are changing history. Image
I remind you that Sudan was an enemy country. It participated in war against Israel. In the Sudanese capital of Khartoum, the Arab League declared the three no's with Israel: No peace with Israel, no recognition of Israel, no negotiations with Israel. We changed all of that.
Some of you may not remember that Iran also used Sudan for smuggling. Iran was a country from which very dangerous weapons would be smuggled to Hamas via Sudan, the Nile valley and Sinai and this compelled me to order steps to prevent this and indeed this has changed.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, on the passing of the late Eitan Haber:
"I regret the passing of the late Eitan Haber, who was among the pillars of Israeli journalism for decades.
Haber won a name for himself as a thorough and credible man of letters. The security of Israel topped his concerns and he wrote about it in clear, original and fascinating language. His many books, which enrich the shelf of military literature, are of historical value.
Eitan Haber assisted several leaders of the state, especially the late Yitzhak Rabin. We will never forget his emotional and dramatic announcement about the shocking murder.
