The Arab Parliament called on the 15 members of the UN Security Council to support a draft UN Security Council resolution that sets a timeline for an Israeli withdrawal to the pre-1967 lines and recognizes the Palestinian state.
"By supporting the resolution, you contribute in boosting peace in the region," Ahmed Al-Jarwan, the speaker of the Arab Parliament, said in a letter to the parliaments of the 15 nations.
The Arab and Palestinian leadership have chosen peace as a strategic option, Jarwan said.
The proposal, circulated by Jordan, sets a two-year deadline for the Israeli occupation.
A Security Council resolution would need the approval of nine of the 15 members.
Any of the five permanent council members can veto a resolution. That group includes Britain, France, China, Russia, and the United States, which has used the prospect of a veto to prevent previous council action related to Israel.
