De Arabische Liga vindt altijd een excuus om normalisatie af te wijzen. Dat deden ze al voor de stichting van Israel (een van de hoofdredenen dat zij in 1945 werd opgericht was om de stichting van een Joodse staat te verhinderen) en dat doet zij nog steeds. Het Arabische vredesplan belooft geen vrede en normalisatie; dat is aan de individuele lidstaten al naar gelang hun eigen belang en inzicht. Het stelt Israel geen erkenning als Joodse staat in het vooruitzicht, en eist wel dat miljoenen vluchtelingen en hun nakomelingen naar Israel kunnen 'terugkeren'.
RIA Novosti vergeet te vermelden dat de Palestijnen volgens de Roadmap de gewapende groeperingen moeten ontmantelen. Op het recente Fatah congres zijn de Al Aqsa Martelaren Brigades officieel als gewapende tak van Fatah verwelkomd, en in de Gazastrook lukt het ook nog niet zo met het ontwapenen van gewapende groepen... Bovendien moeten de Palestijnen volgens de Routekaart een einde maken aan de opruiing in hun media, zoals de verering van zelfmoordterroristen, Holocaustontkenning en absurde beschuldigingen zoals dat IDF soldaten in Palestijnse organen handelen (Aftonbladet was niet origineel), Israel de tsunami heeft veroorzaakt, Palestijnen vergiftigt en het hele Midden-Oosten wil overheersen.

CAIRO, September 10 (RIA Novosti) - Arab countries see no reason to normalize relations with Israel as Tel Aviv continues building illegal settlements on the occupied Palestinian land, Arab League head Amr Moussa said on Wednesday.
"The issue of normalizing relations with Israel has been closed," Moussa told journalists following a session of the League of Arab States at the level of foreign ministers.
Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak sanctioned on Monday the construction of 455 new homes in Israeli settlements in the West Bank. This was the first new government-approved construction project in the West Bank since Prime Minister Benjamin Netanhyahu took office in March and is in defiance of U.S. pressure to halt all building work.
The issue of Jewish outposts has become the main obstacle to reviving peace talks with the Palestinians, and a sticking point in relations with the United States, Israel's main strategic ally.
Under the internationally agreed roadmap for Middle East peace, Israel is obliged to freeze all settlement construction activity and remove unauthorized outposts built since 2001. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has demanded Israel freeze the construction of settlements as a pre-condition for the resumption of peace negotiations.
