Why, When, and How Will Israel Intervene in the Sudan War? (2)

As I See

The first part of this article summarized what research centers and news outlets have published—reports that are preparing the ground for dragging Israel into the Sudan war in service of the regional sponsor of the Janjaweed forces.

Today, we begin by highlighting the views of two influential figures in Israeli decision-making:

The first is Natel Beeri, Head of Research at the Israeli Alma Research and Education Center, which focuses on security issues along Israel’s northern front. Beeri is known for his analyses of Iranian threats, particularly the activities of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) across the Middle East. He has written several reports linking Iranian influence to conflict zones such as Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Gaza, and more recently—Sudan.

On April 10, 2024, Beeri wrote an article titled “Sudan as an Alternative Corridor,” in which he outlined three maritime, aerial, and land routes allegedly used by Iran to smuggle weapons: from Iran to Sudan by sea, then overland through Libya or Egypt to the Mediterranean coast, and from there again by sea to Lebanon.

The second writer is Niger Innis, a pro-Israel American political analyst, who claimed in his article that General al-Burhan is operating within an Iranian strategy to expand Tehran’s influence in Africa. He described al-Burhan as “Iran’s man in Khartoum” and claimed that Sudan now threatens Israeli interests—particularly through the Red Sea—possibly as a conduit for weapons or intelligence. Innis called for Israeli intervention to “neutralize” al-Burhan, or at least obstruct his role, framing him as a threat to Israel’s national security, and advocating a preemptive war as Iranian influence expands beyond the Middle East.

Two other writers are Amjad Taha, Regional Director of the British Middle East Center for Studies and Research (BIC-ME), and Etienne Nicholus, a Jewish businessman. In their joint article published on May 4, 2025, in The Jerusalem Post titled “Sudan Is Becoming Africa’s Hamas”, they claimed that the Sudanese Armed Forces have become the African equivalent of Hamas and the military wing of the Muslim Brotherhood. They asserted that Iran plays a central role in this Islamic resurgence.

The writers added: “Port Sudan has quietly become a key node in Iran’s weapons smuggling network, turning into a logistics hub for arming Tehran’s proxies from the Horn of Africa to the Sahel.”

Based on these claims, they called for:

Reframing the Sudan war as a strategic terrorist threat.

Exposing the Islamist alliances surrounding the Sudanese Armed Forces.

Preventing weapons and funding from reaching these groups.

Securing the Red Sea through intensified surveillance and deterrence.

On June 30, 2025, Spanish journalist Natalia Cuadros, a specialist in African affairs, published an article titled “Al-Burhan Must Go,” calling for power to be handed over to a truly independent civilian government free of Islamist affiliations. She added: “Although the U.S. has won a decisive battle, the war against Iranian aggression is far from over. Tehran’s malign influence continues to grow through missile programs, militias, and terrorist networks that have now reached Sudan.”

The UAE-funded Sky News Arabia aired a report titled: “What’s Behind Accusations Linking Sudanese Army Leaders to Iranian Weapons?” It cited five international reports confirming that the Sudanese army had received advanced weapons from Iran, including drones (Mohajer-6 and Ababil-3) transported via an Iranian cargo plane (Fars Air Qeshm Boeing 747) that landed in Port Sudan on March 17.

On July 1, 2025, the channel broadcast another report titled: “Israeli Reports Call Al-Burhan ‘Iran’s Man in Sudan’”, quoting The Jerusalem Post which described Al-Burhan as a willing tool for expanding Iranian influence in Africa and the Middle East. The report reiterated the landing of the Iranian cargo plane.

On July 5, 2025, the Sudanese newspaper Al-Sayha published a report titled “After the 12-Day War: The Al-Burhan-Iran Alliance Under Scrutiny,” revealing the fragility of the alliance following Israeli and American strikes on Iranian facilities. The report hinted that a shipment of Shahed-129 drones carried by an Iranian cargo plane was intercepted, with some drones downed.

The Saudi-owned Asharq Al-Awsat newspaper published a report on June 14 titled “Sudanese Islamists Raise the Flag of Resistance with Iran”, noting that the Islamic movement expressed open support for Iran, while Sudan’s Foreign Ministry maintained a more balanced stance.

On June 27, 2025, the Congolese news site Beto.cd, one of the most prominent outlets in Kinshasa, published an editorial titled “After the 12-Day War: The Al-Burhan-Iran Alliance Under Scrutiny”. It stated: “Media reports indicate significant tension within the Port Sudan government, while other sources suggest that Israel is considering launching a military strike against Al-Burhan’s forces due to their growing cooperation with Iran.”

It’s worth noting that the Abu Dhabi Fund for Development (ADFD) has invested approximately 2.8 billion dirhams ($764 million) in the Congo.

Do you now see how the symphony of disinformation works? It starts with fabricated news, which then becomes the basis for reports. These reports are picked up by research centers that produce seemingly academic papers, and the media later presents them as credible facts from reputable institutions.

Behind it all is a hidden orchestra—composing and weaving lies, funding the tunes, and distributing them skillfully to journalists, think tanks, and media outlets. The goal is to craft a unified narrative: “Sudan, through its alliance with Iran, poses a threat to the region—particularly to Israel—therefore it must be struck, to serve the interests of the regional sponsor and the Janjaweed militia.”

That’s the goal, and those are the reasons.
But how will it be done—and when?
