"Defending the Arab World's policy towards Israel, Turki said Arab states have "made our peace" with the creation of Israel. He evoked a Saudi peace plan adopted by the Arab League in 2002, committing Arab nations to a peace process with Israel should the Jewish State agree to concede land it captured during the 1967 war and the creation of the Palestinian state. The Arab World will in return recognize Israel's right to exist and push for normalization."

Actually, that statement says "we will never recognise Israel and will never recognise it's right to exist unless Israel retreats back to the pre-1967 war borders AND creates a new state called Palestine. Until then, we reserve the right to drive all Jews into the ocean and shoot all of those who can swim."

You just have to understand diplo-speak.
