    STRIKING ANOTHER HISTORIC AGREEMENT: President Donald J. Trump has brokered a peace agreement between Sudan and Israel - the third such agreement between Israel and an Arab-Muslim nation in less than three months.

• Today, Israel and Sudan have agreed to make peace and to normalize their relations in another landmark agreement brokered by President Trump.

• The United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Sudan are the first Arab nations to normalize relations with Israel in over 25 years.
