On May 7, the League of Arab States announced the end of the freeze on the Damascus seat for about 12 years, against the backdrop of military repression of popular protests that erupted in 2011 to demand a peaceful transfer of power.
King Salman presides over the Jeddah summit, and it is expected that the level of representation will be “high”, according to observers, in light of attempts to zero Arab crises.
