  On 18 April 2023, the RSF removed the word "Quds" (Arabic: قدس), an acronym of (Arabic: قوات الدعم السريع, romanized: Quwwāt ad-daʿm as-sarīʿ) ("Rapid Support Forces")—which happens to also be the spelling of Jerusalem —from its official logo. The previous version of the RSF's slogan contained the word "Quds" below the arrow in the middle of the logo, possibly in reference to the city of Jerusalem. The revised version of the logo without the word "Quds" was used in RSF's published statements, while the previous slogan remained on the RSF's Facebook and Twitter social media accounts. Prior to the logo change, the RSF described Hamas as a terrorist movement, and Israel attempted to mediate between RSF and SAF in the current civil war in Sudan.
