The foreign ministers of the Arab quartet boycotting Qatar will meet Arab League Secretary General Ahmed Aboul Gheit in Cairo today, Reuters reports, citing the state news agency. It remains unclear what the meeting will entail, but it precedes “an urgent gathering of Arab foreign ministers to discuss Iranian actions in the region.” Will the Lebanese show or not? Lebanon’s foreign minister is leaving to the last minute his decision to attend the AL meeting, a senior Lebanese official told Reuters, and Lebanese Prime Minister (?) Saad El Hariri is in Paris, but media chatter has him in Beirut by Wednesday to take part in national day celebrations.
