The Arabs Are In
News from the Arab League meeting in Cairo on Friday morning (I guess this is something of a scoop, because I haven't seen it on the wires yet):
The Arabs are going to Annapolis. Including the Saudis, whose attendance at a high level has been the subject of intense speculation in Washington, Israel and Arab capitals.
A source tells me that all the Arab governments who have been invited to Bush's Middle East peace conference next week, and presumably that includes Syria, will attend. That means Saudi Arabia will be represented by its foreign minister, Prince Saud al-Faisal.
There'll be more to say later...
