At least 56 civilians have died in the clashes between the military and the paramilitary.
Representatives of military leader Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and paramilitary commander Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo have been in contact with Israel, including in the days after the outbreak in the conflict.
Israeli officials urged their Sudanese counterparts to put an end to violence and restore calm.
The United States too is involved in efforts to calm the situation. A source familiar with the matter said that a full-blown civil war could break out in Sudan in the coming days.
Due to the conflict, Israel's political echelon estimates that the full peace agreement with Sudan cannot be signed until after the conflict is over.
The recent tensions stem from disagreement over how the Rapid Support Forces, headed by Dagalo, should be integrated into the armed forces and what authority should oversee the process. The merger is a key condition of Sudan's unsigned transition agreement with political groups.
