Saudi Arabia, which had drafted the first version of the 2002 Arab League initiative calling for "normalisation" with Israel in the event of a full peace accord, would attend, giving Annapolis its imprimatur and encouraging the Arab League to make its demands a little more flexible for Israel.
Specifically, this research supports the development of family-centred tobacco control interventions alongside wider policy initiatives to counter the normalisation of smoking and assist individuals to quit.
Israel has so far refused to accept the Arab League's peace initiative, which calls for full normalisation only if Israel withdraws completely from the West Bank and recognises the right Palestinian refugees claim to return to homes now in Israel.
