U.S. Secretary of State Rice wrote her signature alongside those of Egypt, Jordan, and six Persian Gulf states endorsing the 2002 Saudi Arabian plan as a foundation for Middle East peace. The Saudi Plan offers full normalization of relations between Israel and the Arab world in exchange for Israel's withdrawal from Judea, Samaria, and the Golan Heights. Gaza was included in the original draft, but in 2005 Israel abandoned that strip of land to Arab terrorists who turned it into a haven for terrorists and a launching pad for increased terrorism. Although Israeli leaders have made positive statements regarding the plan — which until now had been totally rejected by Israeli governments — the current form of the plan includes reference to an Arab "right of return" that Israel considers a deal-breaker. It is not clear how Rice's signature on the joint statement affects the U.S. position on that point. Rice's signature also raises another potential point of conflict with Israel because the statement calls for making the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty universal for all nations: a pointed jab at Israel, which has refused to join.
