[Jordan's King] Abdullah said [to an Israeli delegation] Thursday that Israel must accept the Saudi peace initiative.
The king called on Israel to 'adopt the Arab initiative as the basis for negotiations with the Palestinians and not to miss this historic opportunity for recognition by all the countries of the region and true integration into the region.' He added: 'I worry about the generations to come. This is an unparalleled opportunity and I have taken it upon myself to influence the people of Israel.'
Many Israeli opinion leaders are calling on Olmert's (very) shaky government to take up the Saudi/ Arab League initiative as the basis for serious negotiations. The American Jewish leadership is far behind on this one.
