Arab leaders reaffirm support for 2002 peace plan
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleArab leaders reaffirm a 2002 peace plan that offers normalized ties with Israel if it cedes lands it captured in the 1967 Six Day War to a future Palestinian state.
The declaration is issued at the end of an Arab summit, attended by 21 presidents, kings and top officials.
The statement says that “peace is a strategic option” for the Arab world, based on a two-state solution — Palestine in the pre-1967 lines — alongside Israel.
It also urges countries around the world not to move their diplomatic missions in Israel to contested Jerusalem, a signal to President Donald Trump who said in the past he would move the US Embassy in Israel to the holy city.
The Palestinians seek east Jerusalem, captured in 1967, as a future capital.
