Hey, you know how you heard that the Arab states might consider dropping that annoying “Palestinian refugees get to destroy Israel” part of the Saudi Initiative? Yeah, turns out that’s not true:
Secretary General of the Arab League Amr Moussa announced on Sunday that the land-for-peace Arab peace initiative will be relaunched during an Arab summit scheduled for the end of March in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, but stressed that no changes will be made to the current format. Last week, Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni said that Israel objects to the initiative’s section on the Palestinian refugees, which was not part of the initial Saudi draft, but was added at the 2002 Arab League summit. Israel was expecting the Arab League to adopt an improved version of the Saudi peace plan at the summit meeting, senior government sources told Haaretz last week.
We’re shocked.
