Well, Egypt and Jordan did, to an extent. But a full recognition of Israel's right to exist as a Jewish state must include a repudiation of any Palestinian right of return. This is simple logic, since any significant repatriation would doom Israel's Jewish character in the long run. We'll know the Arabs are serious about peace when they make room for the Palestinians in their own countries and let them out of the refugee prison camps.Flame of the WestConrad Dunkerson
If they would unequivocally declare that they accept the legitimacy of the Jewish state, the discussion could then shift to agreeing on the borders and finding some accomodation for the Palestinians.
Actually, they did that already.
Doesn't seem to have worked very well.
