Ahh.. so much for the infamous three “noes” of Khartoum — no peace, no recognition, and no negotiation — that Arab states adopted in 1967, after Israel’s victory in the Six Day War that year. A little bit of the Red Sea just became safer, right opposite from Saudi Arabia too. Handy for surveillance when the "agricultural" aid personnel arrive. Nobel Peace Prize or Trump, or will he have to wait for 4 years until he isn't P O T U S?
//From August 29 to September 1, 1967, eight Arab heads of state attended a summit conference in Khartoum where they formulated the consensus that underlines the policies of most Arab states in conflict with Israel. Among other issues, the resolution called for the continued struggle against Israel. By adopting the dictum of no peace with Israel, no recognition of Israel and no negotiations with Israel (The 3 Noes), the Arab states appeared to slam the door on any possible progress towards peace.//
Meanwhile in one of the regular temper tantrums, upon hearing the news, Hamas fired rockets into the Gaza strip before dawn this morning. Apparently infuriated that someone else may get a share of the extortion money that they have got used to levering out of the Israelis in exchange for peace. Another stopping off call of port for the import of weapons closed down after they blew their own sky high.
