The Sudanese Transitional Sovereign Council (TSC) has welcomed the outcomes of the summit of Sudan's neighboring countries in Egypt.

The Council announced that the Sudanese Armed Forces are ready to stop military operations immediately if the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) stop attacking residential neighborhoods, government facilities and blocking roads.

In a statement, the Sovereign Council affirmed its keenness to work with all parties seeking to stop the war and restore security and stability in the country.

It declared its commitment to initiating a political dialogue as soon as the war stopped leading to the formation of a civilian government during a transitional period that would end with elections in which all Sudanese would participate.

"We are willing to initiate a political dialogue following the end of the war to form a civilian government followed by elections," they affirmed.

The Council thanked Egypt and President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi for hosting the summit to restore stability and security in Sudan.

It also thanked the neighboring countries that expressed support for the security and stability of Sudan, preserving its unity and safety and supporting the people of Sudan to overcome the crisis.

The statement praised the continuous efforts of Saudi Arabia and the US for their efforts in the recent Jeddah talks that aimed at ending the war and the suffering of the Sudanese people.

Netanyahu Aide Faces Indictment over Gaza Leak

An aide to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu faces indictment on security charges pending a hearing, Israel's attorney general has said, for allegedly leaking top secret military information during Israel's war in Gaza.

Netanyahu's close adviser, Jonatan Urich, has denied any wrongdoing in the case, which legal authorities began investigating in late 2024.

Netanyahu has described probes against Urich and other aides as politically motivated and on Monday said that Urich had not harmed state security. Urich's attorneys said the charges were baseless and that their client's innocence would be proven beyond doubt, reported Reuters.

Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara said in a statement late on Sunday that Urich and another aide had extracted secret information from the Israeli military and leaked it to German newspaper Bild.

Their intent, she said, was to shape public opinion of Netanyahu and influence the discourse about the slaying of six Israeli hostages by their Palestinian captors in Gaza in late August 2024.

The hostages' deaths sparked mass protests in Israel and outraged hostages' families, who accused Netanyahu of torpedoing ceasefire talks that had faltered in the preceding weeks for political reasons.

Netanyahu vehemently denies this. He has repeatedly said that Hamas was to blame for the talks collapsing, while the group has said it was Israel's fault no deal had been reached.

Four of the six slain hostages had been on the list of more than 30 captives that Hamas was set to free if a ceasefire had been reached, according to a defense official at the time.

The Bild article in question was published days after the hostages were found executed in a Hamas tunnel in southern Gaza. It outlined Hamas' negotiation strategy in the indirect ceasefire talks and largely corresponded with Netanyahu's allegations against the militant group over the deadlock.

Bild said after the investigation was announced that it does not comment on its sources and that its article relied on authentic documents. The newspaper did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Monday.

A two-month ceasefire was reached in January this year and included the release of 38 hostages before Israel resumed attacks in Gaza. The sides are presently engaged in indirect negotiations in Doha, aimed at reaching another truce.

In his statement on Monday, Netanyahu said Baharav-Miara's announcement was "appalling" and that its timing raised serious questions.

Netanyahu's government has for months been seeking the dismissal of Baharav-Miara. The attorney general, appointed by the previous government, has sparred with Netanyahu's cabinet over the legality of some of its policies.
