ANKARA, May 25 (Reuters) - Turkey's pro-Kurdish DEM Party condemned on Monday a court ruling that ousted the leadership of the main opposition CHP last week, calling a police operation to evict the leaders from the party's headquarters a "disgrace to democracy".

Riot police fired tear gas and forced their way into the Republican People's Party's (CHP) headquarters in Ankara on Sunday, evicting ousted leader Ozgur Ozel, whose party has rejected the ruling as a "judicial coup" and vowed to fight it.

OMDURMAN, Sudan, May 25 (Reuters) - Farmers across Sudan say the hike in global fuel and fertilizer costs resulting from the Iran conflict will force them to cut back on planting this summer, restricting food production in a country where war has causedacute hunger.

WASHINGTON, May 25 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday it should be mandatory for countries including Qatar, Pakistan, Egypt, Jordan and Turkey to join the Abraham Accords en masse as part of an effort to reach a deal with Iran.

Trump said he spoke on Saturday to leaders of those countries, as well as Saudi Arabia and Bahrain, which already have signed the accords, a set of agreements to normalize relations with Israel.

US President Donald Trump recast his bid for peace with Iran on Monday as an attempt to strike a grand bargain across the Middle East, urging Muslim-majority countries from the region and beyond to settle their disputes with Israel.

In a lengthy social media post, Trump listed countries whose leaders he spoke with in a conference call on Saturday about efforts to end the war with Iran.

Two provincial officials, speaking on condition of anonymity as they were not authorised to disclose the information, said on Monday the death toll had risen to more than 30.

JERUSALEM/BEIRUT, May 25 (Reuters) - Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich on Monday called on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to resume bombing Beirut in response to increased explosive drone attacks by Hezbollah on Israeli troops and northern Israel towns.

Smotrich's comments came after an Israeli soldier was killed by a Hezbollah drone attack on Sunday. Israeli media reported that Smotrich made similar remarks at a cabinet meeting on Sunday.

The United States and Iran have both played down chances of a quick deal to end a war that has engulfed the Middle East and disrupted the global oil market.

US President Donald Trump said Monday that a deal with Tehran would either be "great and meaningful" or there would be "no deal" at all.

Iran's foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei said progress had been made in talks with Washington, but a deal was not yet within reach.

JERUSALEM, May 25 (Reuters) - Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has told confidants in private conversations that Israel has little ability to influence Donald Trump's decision-making on Iran as the U.S. president negotiates a deal in the nearly three-month-old war, two sources said.

Netanyahu's comments, described to Reuters by two Israeli officials with knowledge of the conversations, come as Israel has largely been left out of talks to reach an initial deal to halt a war that began with joint U.S.-Israeli bombardment.
