Saudis consider U.S. proposals to end Middle East conflict

The Royal Embassy of Saudi Arabia in Washington recently announced that the kingdom had welcomed proposals put forth by U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry on a final settlement of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. 

The Saudi Foreign Ministry complimented the proposals, saying they represent an appropriate method for ending the conflict and bringing about peace in the region. The ministry said the proposals are in accord with the Arab Peace Initiative adopted at the Arab Summit in Beirut in 2002 and by the Islamic Summit in Makkah, as well as most major resolutions of international legality.
