		The Israeli people must be made to realize that the Arab initiative represents a serious attempt by the Arab leaders to influence a change in the direction of the current situation from an open conflict to a political process in which violence — and the radicals inciting violence — are pushed aside.
		It is a concept and not a peace plan, but it states the will, the principles and the major objectives for peace and leaves to third parties the task of coming up with an initial framework and calendar for the peace process.
		Fifth, the initiative presents a flexible, realistic, and political approach to the concerns expressed by all the parties — Israel, Palestine, Syria, and Lebanon— leaving the necessary space and flexibility to resolve their differences on all major issues such as Jerusalem, borders, and the right of return.

		More important, however, is the fact that the initiative indicated a readiness on behalf of the Arabs to pay the price of peace, which includes acceptance of Israel as a state within the region and transcending past tragedies and present problems in the hope of a better future.
