Saudi Arabia's foreign minister suggested Monday that Arab leaders would be willing to consider changes in their 2002 peace offer to Israel to make it "compatible" with new developments.

The statement from Foreign Minister Saudi al-Faisal came as Arab League foreign ministers agreed to revive the peace plan at a summit later this week. Arab leaders had, until now, publicly rejected Israeli calls for changes to the 2002 Arab peace offer.

With our scheduled pullout of Iraq becoming a possible reality,
