The "idea" of Israel's policy towards Sudan is taken from David Ben-Gurion's famous statement: "We (Israel) are a small nation. Our capabilities are limited. We must overcome these limitations by identifying and studying our weak points in the war with our enemies in the Arab countries. Especially when we intensify conflicts between ethnic, sectarian groups and minorities, we must make them an insoluble problem." This "idea" determines how Israel deals with the Arab countries. Based on it, the Jewish state has developed a "periphery strategy" - that is, a strategy of increasing instability in the peripheral regions of the Arab countries. This is precisely what was done through the partition of South Sudan.

Syrian television, citing Turkish sources, reported an Iranian plan to eliminate President Ahmed al-Shar' and stage a coup.
