A number of senior clerics in Saudi Arabia have forbidden any collective peace initiative that includes the right of Jews to immigrate to the land of Palestine, and the normalization of relations with them.
The prohibition was a clearly targeting the 'Arab Peace Initiative' launched by Saudi Arabia at the Arab Summit in Beirut in 1982, which until now has been the cornerstone of many of the deliberations on the prospects for peace in the Middle East.

Oops there goes another peace initiative (that should be sung to this tune)

The Arab Peace Initiative dates from 2002, not 1982.
It is Israel that has systematically refused to consider the Arab Peace Initiative, while all Arab states (and the PA) have been resigning it every year.
It offers a normalisation of all affairs between Israel and the Arab world, and an end to violence.
Israeli politicians have always ignored it.
