CAIRO, April 15 (Xinhua) -- The Arab League (AL) on Saturday asked the new Palestinian government led by the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) to adopt an Arab peace plan to end the conflict with Israel.
Delegates of the 22 member states of the pan-Arab organization asked the Hamas-led Palestinian government to accept the Arab peace initiative adopted at the 2002 Arab summit in Beirut, visiting Palestinian Foreign Minister Mahmoud al-Zahar told reporters following a meeting with AL chief Amr Moussa.
Zahar said that he would convey that message to his government, but noted that Israel had not accepted the Arab peace plan yet.
Under plan, Arab countries will normalize relations with Israel if the Jewish state withdraws from Arab territories taken in the 1967 Arab-Israeli war and when an independent Palestinian state is established.
Israel has rejected the plan.
Zahar said that he also asked Arab countries to provide financial aid to the cash-stripped Palestinian National Authority (PNA).
The United States and the European Union cut off financial aid to the Palestinian government after Hamas took office in March, urging the group to recognize Israel's right to exist, renounce violence and accept previous Palestinian-Israeli agreements.
Israel has also halted the monthly transfer of about 50 million U.S. dollars of tax revenues it collects on behalf of the PNA since Hamas won the parliamentary elections in January.
The Palestinians have been largely dependent on financial aid from the West. Enditem

Xihnua.
Hamas has a "piece" plan: Hamas blows up children and other civilians into pieces.
Here is a solution. Israel gets the West Bank, The Palis get Gaza. HAMAS, Al Queada and all foreign terrorists groups can come live peacefully in Gaza. While Israel is at it, invite the UN to move its headquarters to Gaza.
Then blow up Gaza.
Precisely.
Perhaps the league wants them to be more subtle about it to get aid again from the gullable west. It would be a terrible thing if oil-rick sheiks would have to support their poorer homicidal brothers.
Snowball's chance in hell!
It's not peace, Israel. It's hudna.
1 Thessalonians 5:3 While they are saying, "Peace and safety!" then destruction will come upon them suddenly like Tom Cruise upon a woman with child, and they and the placenta will not escape.
Any peace plan which does not involve the complete removal of "palestinian refugees" and redistribution in such places as the Marianas Trench and the Lunar surface, is doomed to fail.

Tom was misunderstood, he's into Italian food & actually wanted to eat POLENTA (sarc/off)
Would this be the Saudi plan that demanded right of return plus a return to 1948 borders?
Or the Saudi plan that demanded right of return, unlimited water rights, and a return to 1967 borders?
