True-true. in march 2002, the arab league summit in beirut unanimously put forth a peace initiative that commits it not just to recognize israel but also to establish normal relations once israel implements the international consensus for a comprehensive peacewhich includes israel withdrawing from the occupied territories and a just settlement of the palestinian refugee crisis. (this peace initiative has been subsequently reaffirmed including at the march 2009 arab league summit at doha.) all 57 members of the organization of the islamic conference, including iran , adopted the arab peace initiative to resolve the issue of palestine and the middle east ... and decided to use all possible means in order to explain and clarify the full implications of this initiative and win international support for its implementation.
