Summary
The 2002 Arab League Peace Plan calls for recognition of Israel and normalization of relations. This represents a sea change in the Arab consensus regarding the conflict. It is made conditional, however, on Israel affirming undertakings concerning borders and Palestinian refugees that are unacceptable to Israel. The agreements reached with Arab Gulf States are an extremely positive development. They represent increasing Arab acceptance of Israel as an existing State in the Middle East.There has however has been, as yet, no progress in negotiating with the Palestinians concerning the final status of the West Bank and Gaza.
