AL’s Summit in Doha: When Arabs Replace "Israel" by Syria

Local Editor

The Arab League summit in Doha brought nothing to Occupied Palestine but misery and deficiency.

It forgot all about al-Quds, refugees, prisoners behind "Israeli" jails, hunger strikers, settlements, and jeudization. The Arab leaders neglected the Lebanese occupied territories and the daily "Israeli" threats and breaches against Lebanon.

All what Hamad Bin Khalifa al-Thani shed light on was Syria and his comic play of replacing the Syrian flag by that of the mandate and handing Syria's seat to a divided opposition brought nothing but a new dead organ to the AL's dead body.

And the cost of the blanking the memory and changing the enemy from Zionist "Israel" to Arab Syria was few millions of US dollars by the oil Kingdoms.

In details, Syria's opposition leader Ahmad Moaz al-Khatib took Syria's seat at the AL Tuesday as leaders gathered for the annual summit gave member states the "right to arm rebels".
The Doha summit affirmed the "right of every state to offer all forms of self-defense, including military, to support the resistance of the Syrian people and the so-called "Free Syrian Army"."
However, "efforts aimed at reaching a political solution to the Syrian crisis are a priority," the resolution added.

Earlier, al-Khatib threw the opposition into disarray by announcing his resignation Sunday.
Taking the seat at the invitation of Qatar's emir, Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani, Khatib was flanked by other senior opposition figures, including the newly so-called Interim government's Prime Minister Ghassan Hitto.
"We demand ... all forms of support from our friends and brothers including our full right for self-defense and the seat of Syria at the United Nations and at other international organizations," he said.
He called for a "freezing of the funds of the regime which it stole from our people," estimated by the opposition at around $2 billion.

He also stressed that the Syrian people alone would determine the future of their country.
"They ask who will rule Syria. The people of Syria will decide, not any other state in this world," Khatib said.
"Shame on you, Arab brothers," wrote the Tishreen Syrian daily.
"This theft that the sheikhdom of Qatar and other collaborator, treacherous, backward Arab regimes have committed by handing the Doha-sponsored Coalition the Syrian state's membership ... is a legal, political and moral crime," it said.

The Syrian state under President Bashar al-Assad "still exists in its people, army, institutions, services, and its legislative, executive and judicial authorities that exercise (the country's) full sovereignty", the daily added.
"Damascus is not affected at all by the loss of its seat... because this league does not represent Syria's beliefs," it affirmed, and pointed out that the "AL was a heavy burden on the Syrian people and state, and on the Syrian collective conscience."

Regime supporters hacked the Arab League website to protest the decision.
They accused the league of having "crowned its allegiance to the mini-gas state of Qatar, "Israel's" ally, by handing the seat of the Syrian Arab Republic ... to this illegitimate dwarf called the Coalition."
Meanwhile, Khatib said he had asked US Secretary of State John Kerry to extend the protection of Patriot missile batteries deployed along the Turkish border into northern Syria, and that Kerry had "promised to look into the matter."
"We are still awaiting a decision from NATO on this matter," Khatib said.
In this context, al-Akhbar daily revealed that the Qatari's pressured al-Akhatib to attend the summit.
"This led that al-Akhatib flew to Doha by a special Qatari plan accompanied by a delegation of 8 people," it mentioned.

The daily further highlighted that this comes after a Arab Foreign Ministers agreed on a preliminary decision to end the dispute in the Syrian opposition, by directing that al-Khatib delivers the opposition's speech to the summit.
In parallel, as-Safir Lebanese daily reported that the Political Assistant to the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Jeffrey Feltman, was the Qataris' full partner in managing the Syrian file from A to Z in the summit.

According to the daily, the common plan aims at providing a legal Arab cover to impose a new reality on the UN by replacing the flag and presenting a new representative to the international body.
"This will supposedly lead to expelling the current Syrian representative at the United Nations, Bashar Jaafari," the plan assumes.
