is a plan devised to end Israel. No "two state solution" ever!

Saudis would crap in their pants if Jordan was taken over by ISIS the moment if Israel went along with their division plan to create another arab state. What Saudis should suggest and that is to keep this part of our corner (Jordan Israel) safe, they should inlufence their cousin King Abdoola in Jordan to incorporate his ex citizens from the West Bank under Jordanian rule rather than risk Hamas/ISIS/Hizbolla entering the neighborhood with the Palestinian blessing.

Since when does one country COMMAND another country what to do?

You can take your camel to the water, but you can't make it drink.

Why would it be different if Israel would give up the West Bank?

"Right of return" a deal killer.

He is asking Israel to commit suicide. Really, the Palestinians claim that they will have refuges growing in a geometric progression. They want to destroy Israel in a formal agreement.

Israel should not give up one square inch. Look at the thanks they got last time they did.

What a flagrant misrepresentation of the Saudi Peace Plan. After tough diplomacy and outreach by Sec Kerry, the current version of this plan changes 67 lines for" 67 lines with mutually agreed land swaps", and changes the language of "right of return" to "just resolution of the the refugee problem". In other words, the plan on the table that Netanyahu has spent years ignoring keeps most settlers in place, and does not mean automatic return of millions of refugees. It's criminal that this Saudi offer for normalization and peace is treated with such disrepect by the Israeli govt and by authors such as this one.

The Sunni states want to make peace with Israel. It is in the mutual interest of both because Iran is a mortal threat to both. Neither the Sunnis nor Israel believes that the deal being negotiated with Iran will prevent it from developing nuclear weapons. With peace Israeli forces and weapons, including nuclear, could be stationed near Iran's borders stopping its expansion and threats. The problem for the Sunnis is that they have sold the Palestinian cause to their own publics for so long they can't be seen as abandoning them. In a bazaar you demand your maximum price first with little hope of getting it whatever you say about it being final. Rejection is expected as is a counter offer. It is now up to Israel to counter with something near maximal on its side.

Saudi Arabia, Syria ,Iraq and Egypt, Yemen are fighting for their very survival. They could not implement a peace treaty even if they wanted to. Even if they could Iran has other plans for the middle east.

"if Netanyahu does decide to adopt the initiative, Eshki adds, he must do so officially – in an address at the UN or in Jerusalem, for example." Maybe before talking about addopting "iniciatives" King Salman should Officially accept an invitation from Pm Netanyahu and his Ministers to visit the Israeli Knesset. You can prepare a peace speech and international tvs from Israel and around the world will broadcast it. You will exhorted all conflicted arab countries to stop wars and hostilities in arab countries. If they listen to you, we could considere it a good opportunity to made amendments to your kind proposal. shalom

I agree.

Arabs come from Arabia. Perhaps the first discussion should be Arab Colonisation of North Africa and the Middle East including Arabs in Israel and its territories. Thats where they belong and thats where they should go then Israel can talk peace.

Of course there is an alternative to the Saudi Peace Plan. The Arab world, including the Palestinians, could simply stop trying to kill Jews and destroy Israel, stop glorifying those to do, and put their oil money, time and resources into improving the lives of their children. But they can't do that, because that would be admitting defeat. They would rather continue to live in misery and blame the Jews for that misery. The oldest game in town.

Peace plan, Israel's plan she wouldn't be as foolish as to suddenly hand over an axe to her enemy with which to behead her. HIlarious, obama must be getting beneath depression it's an obsession ... He must know the Saudi's, Arab Gulf States are now allied with Israel.. Whodda thunk it? KEEP BUILDING !!

of course, he would say that, how passe' and absurd. Even obama offended the Saudis and Arab Gulf States. that's what obama does, insult humiliate and make enemies. Oy!

It seems fair to ask would the 22 Arab Countries immediately agree to the right of return for the many Jews who were forced out or fled. Would they agree that those who choose to return could practice their religion openly,and compensate those who choose not to return..?.....

This will solve all Middle East problems caused by Arabs.

the saudis try to save their skin by sacrificing the jewish state to the islamic state. israel says NO.

delusional.

The resolution is based, also by the Holy Quran, on those who follow the Jewish Scriptures, the Christians and the Muslim (Believers) who believe in Allah/ God, the Last Day and work righteousness.

'No alternative' to Saudi peace plan Yes there is. Create a New Arab state on your own land,you have plenty of land in Saoedi Arabie. Or give back the land that the Arab invaders stole across the Middle-East of the Christians.

from Lithuania and Poland. We don't want to return but didn't get compensated for the properties our murdered families owned before World War 2

...the Forum in Qatar was in March 2015 after the Israeli parliament elections!

The arabs had the choice in 1948. They choose against peace. I guess they're still paying for it... And when you still pay for a "debt" you don't choose your own terms, the "bank" dictates!

What is your point? Their words and intentions haven't changed.
