The Fahd Peace Plan, also known as the Fahd Peace Initiative and Fez Initiative, was a peace proposal presented by then Saudi Crown Prince Fahd of Saudi Arabia in 1981[1] and officially submitted during the Arab League summit in Morocco's city of Fez in November that year.[2]
Possibly the first bid to solve the conflict following the Egypt–Israel Peace Treaty in 1979, the plan was designed to resolve the Arab–Israeli conflict and establish lasting peace in the region.[3]
Made by eight-point proposal, the plan has suggested that "all states in the region should be able to live in peace in the region."[3] Within its provisions, it was included Israeli withdrawal from "all Arab territory occupied in 1967", including Arab Jerusalem, dismantling of Israeli settlements built on "Arab land" after 1967, a "guarantee of freedom of worship for all religions in Holy Places", an "affirmation of the right of the Palestinian Arab people to return to their homes and compensation for those who do not wish to return", and the creation of an "independent Palestinian State" with Jerusalem as its capital and putting the West Bank and the Gaza Strip under the "auspices of the United Nations for a period not exceeding several months".[4]
