The end of this month will witness the 11th anniversary of the Arab Peace Initiative (API) adopted at the annual Arab League Summit meeting held in Beirut in March 2002. The API came as a political but also as a psychological breakthrough in the history of the Arab-Israeli conflict.
It reflected and confirmed the major change that occurred, and not easily, in the Arab perception of the conflict and its settlement.
