Strategic Assessment
Research Forum | April 2013

Israel should recognize the Arab Peace Initiative as a regional-international platform for multilateral dialogue with the Arab world and a basis for engagement with any of the Arab League member states, provided that this occurs in parallel with progress in the negotiations toward a political settlement with the Palestinians. Mere recognition of the initiative as a single, isolated step does nothing. In combination with negotiations for an Israeli-Palestinian agreement, however, it is a sound, realistic way to ensure Israel’s national interests, first and foremost, outlining the borders of Israel as the secure, democratic state of the Jewish people.
