Problem is that Turkey is hosting Hamas; we couldn’t normalize ties with Ankara while that obtains. Upcoming Israeli elections.  End of the pandemic is close to the 23 March election; will have an effect.  Sudan normalizing ties with Israel: excellent news.  Only four years ago, [looked impossible].  Need to follow the [discussions] step by step, is complicated. The Qatari-Saudi [alliance] is something I’m [not sure I can comment on].  Ariel Kahana is Israel Hayom'ssenior diplomatic correspondent. https://www.israelhayom.com/2020/12/27/570301/ https://www.israelhayom.com/2021/01/05/breakthrough-reached-in-gulf-dispute-with-qatar/  Sudan officially normalizes ties with Israel - www.israelhayom.com (https://www.israelhayom.com/2021/01/07/sudan-officially-normalizes-ties-with-israel/)
