SWEIMEH: Arab leaders are set to meet in Jordan on Wednesday for their annual summit with no expected breakthrough on resolving conflicts or “terrorism” in the region. “I think this summit won’t be any different from the previous Arab summits,” said Oraib al-Rantawi, head of the Al-Quds Centre for Political Studies. Arab League chief Ahmed Abul Gheit on Monday called on Arab leaders to play “a more active role” in finding a solution to the war, describing it as “the worst crisis in the region’s recent history”. On Tuesday, Guterres called on Arab leaders to set aside their differences to confront Syria s war, which is estimated to have killed more than 320,00 people and displaced millions. Arab leaders will discuss Libya, where a UN-backed unity government has struggled to assert its authority, and the decades-old Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
