According to the
Saudi plan, Israel will retreat from all territories occupied in
1967 including Gaza the West Bank, Jerusalem and the Golan Heights,
and a Palestinian state will be established. The refugees problem
will be resolved through negotiation in a just and agreed upon
manner and in accordance with UN resolution 194 which allows return
of refugees to Israel and compensation. In return, all Arab states
will recognize Israel and its right to secure borders, will sign
peace treaties with her and establish normal diplomatic relations.
