Sudan's Rapid Support Forces held discreet meetings with Israeli officials in Tel Aviv during 2025 and 2026, according to an investigation reported by Middle East Eye. RSF delegations travelled to Israel for the talks over the two-year period, marking a significant diplomatic engagement between the armed group and the Israeli government.
The clandestine contacts between the RSF and Israel come as the paramilitary force has faced mounting international pressure over its conduct in Sudan's conflict. The nature and substance of the discussions remain undisclosed, though the meetings suggest behind-the-scenes engagement at a time of heightened regional tensions. The RSF has been a central player in Sudan's violence since 2023.
