Palestine: The Palestinian Authority has placed full-page ads in Hebrew newspapers in Israel that promote an Arab peace plan first put forward in 2002. The adverts offer Arab recognition of Israel if the country ends its occupation of land captured in the 1967 Arab-Israeli war. In an interview with the BBC, Israeli President Shimon Peres said the adverts were a "sea-change" in Arab policy. It has not formally accepted the 2002 plan, but has noted the positive aspects of it.
