Arab states are working on an initiative to secure a ceasefire and the release of hostages in Gaza as part of a broader plan that could offer Israel a normalisation of relations if it agrees to “irreversible” steps towards the creation of a Palestinian state.
A senior Arab official said they hoped to present the plan — which could include the prize of Saudi Arabia formalising ties with Israel — within a few weeks in an effort to end the Israel-Hamas war and prevent a wider conflict erupting in the Middle East.
Arab officials have discussed the plan with the US and European governments. It would include western nations agreeing to formally recognise a Palestinian state, or supporting the Palestinians being granted full membership of the UN.
“The real issue is you need hope for Palestinians, it can’t just be economic benefits or removal of symbols of occupation,” the senior official said.

Neither Israel nor Palestine will accept this.

It is truly unfortunate that Israel imposes itself on the world through terrorism and the killing of civilians, and wants us to recognize it in exchange for stopping the genocidal crimes it is committing.
This is the reality of the dirty world we live in
It seems like this would be a step down from the Arab Peace Initiative, which offers full recognition in exchange for Palestinian statehood rather than vaguely "irreversible steps" towards statehood?
