Saudi Arabia has stated that it is willing to normalise relations with Israel based on the Arab Peace Initiative of 2002.
Abdallah Al-Mouallimi, the kingdom’s permanent representative to the United Nations, said in an interview with the Riyadh-based Arab News daily that Riyadh is committed to the Arab Initiative for Peace, which calls for the end of Israel’s occupation of all Arab territories occupied in 1967 and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital in exchange for normalising relations with Israel.
“The official and most recent Saudi view is that we are willing to normalise relations with Israel as soon as Israel implements the elements of the 2002 Saudi peace offer,” Al-Mouallimi said.
