Arab leaders relaunch peace plan

Arab leaders holding a summit in the Saudi capital, Riyadh, have urged Israel to accept an Arab peace initiative first proposed in 2002.
Under the plan, Arab nations would recognise Israel if Israel withdrew from land occupied in the 1967 war.

The plan allows for the creation of a Palestinian state and the return of Palestinian refugees.

Five years ago Israel rejected the plan but now the Israelis are reacting more positively to it, correspondents say.

"It is either we move towards a real peace or see an escalation in the situation," he told Arab League leaders in Riyadh.

in my opinion this is a great idea as it will mean israel is fully recognised as a state by all islamic nations and will have full diplomatic ties with them, this will also mean palistains will have a state and wont have to be refugees in other countries.
