Saudi prince: If Israel quits Arab land, it could join Arab world

A senior Saudi royal has offered Israel a vision of broad cooperation with the Arab world and people-to-people contacts if it signs a peace treaty and withdraws from all occupied Arab territories.

In an interview with Reuters, Prince Turki al-Faisal, a former ambassador to the United States and Britain and adviser to King Abdullah, said Israel and the Arabs could cooperate in many areas including water, agriculture, science and education.

Asked what message he wanted to send to the Israeli public, he said:



The 22-nation Arab League revived at a Riyadh summit last year a Saudi peace plan first adopted in 2002 offering Israel full normalization of relations in return for full withdrawal from occupied Palestinian, Syrian and Lebanese land.

Actions are what matter, and Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Iran, have all not done a thing to offer Israel a sense that she would be secure. There is smuggling of weapons, tunneling, virulent anti-semitism in the media, etc. in Egypt for example, and this is supposedly a country with whom Israel has made peace.
