Arab League considers Syria’s reentry

Arab League considers bringing Syria in from the cold: Members of the Arab League discussed Syria’s potentially imminent return to the organization during a meeting this week, Foreign Ministry Sameh Shoukry told reporters, according to local press. Members are waiting for tensions to subside in Syria to further study the best time for its reentry. Syria was suspended from the organization in 2011 due to Bashar Al Assad’s attempts to suppress anti-government protests.
