Kerry said the Arab League had said it could accept Israel's 1967 borders "with adjustments to reflect mutually agreed upon land swaps recognizing some of the changes that have taken place”. He added that is a very big step forward. The new top US diplomat has suggested the original 2002 Arab Peace Initiative, put forward by Saudi Arabia, could act as a model for a future peace deal between the Arab world and Israel.
