Noting that the aforementioned Framework as appropriate is intended to

between Israel and each of its other Arab neighbors which is prepared to
negotiate peace with it on this basis;
Desiring to bring to an end the state of war between them and to
establish a peace in which every state in the area can live in security;
Convinced that the conclusion of a Treaty of Peace between Egypt and
Israel is an important step in the search for comprehensive peace in the area
and for the attainment of the settlement of the Arab-Israeli conflict in all
its aspects;
Inviting the other Arab parties to this dispute to join the peace process
with Israel guided by and based on the principles of the aforementioned
Framework;
Desiring as well to develop friendly relations and cooperation between
themselves in accordance with the United Nations Charter and the principles of

sovereignty, in order to implement the "Framework for the Conclusion of a
