Arab peace plan ideas 'more important than ever': Clinton

"This groundbreaking initiative provided a far-sighted vision for comprehensive regional peace when the king first proposed it," Clinton said in her message.
"As we continue working to support direct talks between the Israelis and the Palestinians, the principles enshrined in the Arab Peace Initiative are more important than ever."
Riyadh endorsed the resumption of Palestinian-Israeli peace talks launched early this month, but the negotiations are threatened by the possibility that Israel will not extend a freeze on settlement construction, which the Palestinians have warned would end the talks.
The ten-month freeze expires next week.
