The Palestinians are reaching out to the Israeli public to drum up
support for a land-for-peace plan backed by the Arab world.

The government of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas plans to publish
full-page ads in the three major Israeli dailies in Hebrew on Thursday.

The ads will reprint the peace plan which offers Israel recognition by
the Arab world in exchange for a withdrawal from the territories it
captured in the Six-Day-War.

The Arab peace initiative was first adopted six years ago. Israel has
not accepted it. However, there has been renewed interest in the idea in
Israel.

Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat said the advertising campaign marks
the first time the Palestinian government had reached out to the Israeli
public in such a way.
