[The initiative, first put together at a summit in 2002, has won uniform
acceptance from Arab leaders gathered for the two-day event in Riyadh, but
could yet founder, with Israel expressing doubts about the extent of
territorial withdrawal and the possible return of large numbers of
Palestinian refugees to their former homes.--"Arab

[The Saudis, however, would not dare take on an assignment that did not have
Washington's approval.
. . . they keep on harping about the non-existent threat from Islamic Iran.
Can they name even one country that Iran has invaded in the last 250 years?
Based on this non-existent Iranian threat, the Arab regimes are getting
together to seek an alliance with Israel in which the interests of the
Palestinians will be sacrificed yet again, provided that the current Arab
rulers are allowed to remain in power. While the Israelis say they find
some "positive" elements in the Saudi proposal, as did foreign minister
Tzipi Livni, they have also made it clear that they find certain points
unacceptable. These include Israel's return to the 1967 borders, the return
of Palestinian refugees in accordance with UN resolution 194 (passed in
1948), and East Jerusalem as the capital of a Palestinian state.--Waseem

[The plan as delivered to Abbas, according to a Fatah official, is quite
detailed - salaries would be provided to those parts of the Palestinian
government closely affiliated with Fatah and supported by Abbas. The plan
envisages delivering "a strong blow to Hamas by supplying the Palestinian
people with their immediate economic needs through the presidency and
Fatah". At the same time, the international boycott of Hamas would stay in
place and Hamas-affiliated programs would be starved of funds.--Mark Perry
