Opportunity Knocks: The Arab League Renews Its Peace Plan Offer,
analysis from Jewish Voice for Peace
The Arab League summit at the end of March re-issued the 2002 "Saudi Peace Plan." Thus far, despite some polite words, Israel and the United States have not indicated that they plan to take any advantage at all of this historic opportunity.
Should Israel negotiate on the basis of this proposal?
What does the proposal actually say?
Why is it happening now, and how are the various parties in the Arab-Israeli conflict responding to it?
Below are links to various views, responses to and analyses of the Arab League proposal.
