Hey Bibi! Trump on A Conference Call (Staged for Media Consumption) - Here's Another Side-of-The-Story

It was a 'symbolic announcement' of sorts On Friday, US President Donald Trump said Israel and Sudan had opened economic ties as a pathway toward normalized ties. He announced the deal in the Oval Office while on a conference call with Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu. . .

As part of the agreement, Trump took steps to remove Sudan from a US government list of countries allegedly promoting terrorism.

In a post on its Twitter account on Saturday, the Iranian Foreign Ministry said, “The White House announcement on #Sudan couldn't be more symbolic.”

“Pay enough ransom, close your eyes on the crimes against Palestinians, then you'll be taken off the so-called "terrorism" blacklist,” it added. “Obviously the list is as phony as the US fight against terrorism. Shameful!”

Iran's Foreign Ministry has denounced a US-brokered agreement between Israel and Sudan to begin normalizing relations as a “ransom” paid by Khartoum in return for Washington taking it off a blacklist of state sponsors of terrorism.

During a ceremony at the White House, Trump said “five or six” other countries were close to making similar agreements with Israel, but did not name them. 

The Palestinians have condemned the normalization deals as a treacherous "stab in the back" of their cause against the Israeli occupation.
