ARAB SUMMIT IN ALGIERS

The summit of the Arab League begins today in Algiers without the participation of several monarchs and heads of state, including the Saudi Prince, Mohamed Ben Salman; the king of Jordan, Abdallah; the king of Morocco, Mohamed VI and the Egyptian president, Al Sissi.

Algeria has wanted this summit to mark the unity and reconciliation of all the Arab leaders, but their differences have aborted this wish of the Algerian leaders.

Algeria and Morocco had a chance to reconcile. It was said that such was the will of Mohamed VI, but in the end this purpose has collapsed.

Divisions among the Arabs worsened when four countries (the Emirates, Morocco, Sudan, and Bahrain) joined Egypt, Jordan, and Mauritania in establishing relations with the Jewish state.

For the Palestinian leaders, present in Algiers, this recognition satisfies Israel but offers nothing in return for the Palestinian people, who continue to be deprived of their rights and subjected to continuous aggression.

The Egyptian press (Al Ahram) does not even mention that the Arab League is meeting today in the Algerian capital.

It is to be hoped that this meeting at the highest level of, at least, some positive results.
