The Arab League is to send envoys to Israel for the very first time to discuss proposals for an Israeli-Palestinian peace initiative.

It comes as Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian president, receives vocal support from the West after the violent takeover of Gaza by Hamas.

Inside Story explores the issues.
