History

Historical Context

The Arab Peace Initiative, proposed by Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah in March 2002 during the Arab League summit, called for Israel's withdrawal from occupied territories and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital. This initiative reflects ongoing regional efforts for peace, echoing earlier proposals like the Camp David Accords of 1978, which sought Palestinian autonomy but did not achieve lasting resolution.
