Question

Consider the following statements:
Statement-I: Israel has established diplomatic relations with some Arab States.
Statement-II: The 'Arab Peace Initiative' mediated by Saudi Arabia was signed by Israel and Arab League.
Which one of the following is correct in respect of the above statements?

Accepted Answer

Statement-I: Israel has indeed established diplomatic relations with several Arab States over the years. Historically, it signed peace treaties with Egypt (1979) and Jordan (1994). More recently, through the Abraham Accords in 2020, Israel normalized relations with the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Sudan, and Morocco. Thus, Statement-I is **Correct**.

Statement-II: The 'Arab Peace Initiative' was proposed by Saudi Arabia in 2002 and later endorsed by the Arab League. It offered full normalization of relations between the Arab League and Israel in exchange for a full Israeli withdrawal from occupied Palestinian territories, a just solution for Palestinian refugees, and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital. However, this initiative was **never signed by Israel and the Arab League**. Israel generally viewed its terms as a dictate and did not accept it, while the Arab League maintained it as the basis for a comprehensive peace but it remained largely unimplemented. Thus, Statement-II is **Incorrect**.
