Radicals Exploiting Lack of Israel-Palestine Dialogue to Increase Tension

PARIS (Sputnik) – The Arab Peace Initiative, also known as the Saudi Initiative, is a 10-sentence proposal for an end to the Arab–Israeli conflict that was endorsed by the Arab League in 2002. The initiative calls for normalizing relations between the Arab region and Israel, in exchange for a complete withdrawal by Israel from the occupied territories and a diplomatic resolution to the conflict.

"The Arab Peace Initiative was never taken off the table. It was endorsed and supported by all the Arab countries and all the Islamic countries. It is on the table and we believe that it is a solid basis for resolving this longstanding dispute," Adel Jubeir told reporters at the a Paris-initiated international ministerial conference on the Israel-Palestine conflict settlement.

The French capital currently hosts the conference aimed at the resumption of the stalled Israeli-Palestinian negotiations.

Palestinians seek recognition for their independent state on the territories of West Bank as well as East Jerusalem, and the Gaza Srip. The Israeli government denies Palestine's claims, refusing to diplomatically recognize the existence of a Palestinian state. Peace talks between the sides are consistently deadlocked.
