"Speaking to delegates from the Israel Business Conference, Peretz
said Israel must present a "real political horizon" to
Palestinian leaders if it intends to enter successful negotiations. Israel
"must deal with the Saudi initiative as a basis for
negotiations," Peretz added.

Peretz made a similar comment in October in an address to an academic
conference at Tel Aviv University, when he said "We could see the
Saudi initiative as the basis for negotiation," adding, "this
does not mean that we are adopting the Saudi initiative, but it can serve
as a basis."

Former Shin Bet chief, MK Ami Ayalon, made a similar statement in support
of the initiative on Sunday in an address to a closed session of the Saban
Forum in Washington, which he attended alongside Minister Avigdor Lieberman

"The war in Lebanon created an opportunity that obligates Israel to
motivate a new political process on the basis of the road map and the Saudi
initiative, which recognizes Israel's right to exist," Ayalon
said."
