There’s that line that history is like a horse running by the window and you have to jump out on to it when you have the chance. Well the Saudi Peace Plan is some years old, some of the dictators are gone; also it was said that Arafat was the last Palestinian leader who could actually have summoned his people to a two-state solution. Not to be a rejectionist. But who in Israeli society would accept this, and who in the Israel lobby?
Sydney Morning Herald, from the guy who said Israel had decided long ago not to go after Iran:
JERUSALEM: A former chief of Israeli intelligence, Meir Dagan, has urged political leaders to embrace the so-called Saudi peace initiative under which Israel would withdraw to its 1967 borders and give East Jerusalem back to the Palestinians.
In a forthright contradiction of the position of the Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, that a withdrawal to 1967 borders posed an unacceptable security risk, Mr Dagan said Israel ”must present an initiative to the Palestinians”.
