The initiative attempts to end the Arab–Israeli conflict, which means normalizing relations between the entire Arab region and Israel, in exchange for a complete withdrawal from the occupied territories (including East Jerusalem) and a "just settlement" of the Palestinian refugee crisis based on UN Resolution 194 (which calls for a diplomatic resolution to the conflict and resolves that any refugees "wishing to return to their homes and live at peace with their neighbors" should be able to do so or, if they otherwise wish, should be provided with compensation).
Arab Peace Initiative committee is consist of the foreign ministers of Egypt, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Sudan, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Jordan, Palestine, Lebanon and Qatar.
