The Palestinian National Authority (PNA) will publish its first advertisement on Israeli media this week, calling on Israelis to support a Saudi-proposed peace plan, Israeli news service Ynet reported Tuesday.
The public statement will appear on Israeli newspapers as of Thursday, marking the first time that the PNA uses this channel to communicate with the Israeli public, said the report, adding that similar advertisement will be published in American and European newspapers as well.
In the advertisement signed by "the Palestinian Liberation Organization's Negotiation Team," Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and senior negotiator Saeb Erekat urge Israelis to understand and support the Arab Peace Initiative, which calls for an Israeli withdrawal to the 1967 borders in exchange for a comprehensive peace with the Arab world.
"Abbas believes that this initiative is the best mechanism for resolving the conflict and he thinks that the Israeli public and political system have not been given a chance to get to know the details of the plan. He therefore decided to approach the public directly," said Israeli lawmaker Ahmad Tibi, who midwived the project.
"The PNA is saying to the Israeli public through this advertisement: please read the details of the Arab Peace Initiative thoroughly, this is an opportunity you can't afford to miss," Tibi was quoted as saying.
