On Monday the Arab leaders have gathered a summit in the Algerian capital in order to discuss the statement of solidarity with Syria, in an attempt to prevent the following "foreign intervention" in the states and to continue pullouts from Lebanon.

Arab League rejected Jordan’s proposal for a new peace strategy that would offer Israel normal relations and drop the traditional demand that it first return occupied Arab lands.

During preparatory talks, Jordanian Foreign Minister Hani al-Mulqi complained about the failure of Arab nations to adapt with changing times, delegates said.

An Arab League spokesman, Hossam Zaki, opposed the proposal on Syria that outlines placing sanctions on this country for suspected support of terrorism and for its occupation of Lebanon.

"What is the benefit of a summit or even the League itself when it hides, waiting for each crisis to end by itself," Abdel-Rahman al-Rashid, the columnist in the Arab daily Al-Sharq Al-Awsat said. "It is ridiculous that the summit has promised Arabs a big achievement, an Arab parliament. Is this what Arabs want? Another symbolic chatting council?"
