Syria is holding its first Arab Summit this weekend amidst the boycott that plagues this event. Prime leaders from several countries refuse to attend the summit to express their anger over Damascus’ supposed role in the political crisis that Lebanon is currently facing. Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Morocco will all be sending lower level officials to represent their respective countries in the summit. The political crisis in Lebanon has left the country with no successor since November of last year.
The Arab Summit that is taking place this weekend is expected to be attended by the 55 members of the Arab League.
