Arab leaders meeting in Beirut have unanimously endorsed Saudi Arabia's peace plan for the Middle East. Israel, however, has rejected the peace initiative, which offers it "normal relations" and full peace with Arab states, if it pulls out of all Arab land it occupied in 1967. The plan also calls for a "fair solution" to the problem of Palestinian refugees based on UN resolutions and a Palestinian sovereign state to be established with East Jerusalem as its capital. News of the peace plan's approval came as Palestinian officials evacuated their offices in the West Bank town of Ramallah, for fear of another Israeli military attack. Twenty Israelis were killed and more than 100 wounded on Wednesday night when a suicide bomber blew himself up in a busy hotel in the coastal city of Netanya.
