Khartoum resolution

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Khartoum resolution of September 1, 1967 , was passed after a meeting of the leaders of eight Arab states after the Six Day War in Khartoum . It determined the basis of the foreign policy of these states up to the Yom Kippur War in 1973. It determined:

Israel's offer of peace to Egypt and Syria nine days after the Six Day War
  1. the continued struggle against Israel
  2. the end of the Arab oil boycott that existed during the Six Day War
  3. an end to the war in Yemen
  4. economic support for Egypt and Jordan

The resolution contains provisions in its third paragraph that have come to be known as the "three no's" or the "three no's":

  1. NO peace with Israel - No peace with Israel
  2. NO recognition of Israel - No recognition of Israel
  3. NO negotiations with Israel - No negotiations with Israel

The Arab Peace Initiative , which was passed by the Arab League in March 2002, is seen as a departure from this resolution. The initiative includes the offer that should Israel withdraw to the 1967 borders and recognize an independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital, the Arab states would be ready to "normalize" their relations with Israel.

The initiative for peace was proposed in March 2002 by the Arab League at the instigation of the Saudi King Abdullah ibn Abd al-Aziz and accepted in June 2002 by all 57 members of the Organization for Islamic Cooperation , including Iran.

On the Israeli side, this initiative met with opposition from the political leadership. The then Vice Prime Minister Shimon Peres said that further negotiations would be needed to overcome the differences. Neither the Palestinians, the Arabs, nor the Israelis could reach a solution with dictation.
