President Trump on Friday announced a peace deal that would normalize ties with between Israel and Sudan, claiming there "would be many more peace deals to come in the Middle East.".

Trump invited reporters into the Oval Office while he was on the phone with the leaders of Israel and Sudan to discuss the latest U.S.-brokered deal in the run-up to Election Day. .

Even Bibi didn't know if this was possible, right Bibi?" Trump asked his ally, Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. .

Trump said Sudan had demonstrated a commitment to battling terrorism.

"This is one of the great days in the history of Sudan," Trump said, adding that Israel and Sudan have been in a state of war for decades. .

The president also said that a deal between Israel and the Palestinian region may be on the horizon. "Palestinians, they're wanting to do something.

Friday's deal, which would deepen Sudan's engagement with the West, follows Trump's conditional agreement this week to remove the North African nation from the list of state sponsors of terrorism if it pays compensation to American victims of terror attacks. .

Trump said on Tuesday that once the funds were transferred, he would remove Sudan from the list.

The deal with Sudan will include aid and investment from Israel, particularly in technology and agriculture, along with further debt relief

Trump said the deal "will enhance Israel's security and end Sudan's isolation from the world." 

Sudanese Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok thanked Trump for signing the executive order to remove Sudan from the terrorism list and said in a statement that he hoped to complete the process in a "timely manner." 

The normalization agreement had been in the works for some time but was finalized when Trump's Mideast peace team, led by Jared Kushner and Avi Berkowitz, visited the region earlier this week to mark the first commercial flight between Israel and Bahrain and then went on to the United Arab Emirates, according to U.S
