American media circulating that the Arab Summit in Damascus was a failure [all Arab summits are failures, this is a well known fact] while the reality is that the U.S. plot to prevent the summit has failed, here is the details of the American conspiracy:
According to assafir newspaper American embassies in Arab countries distributed notes to the Arab leaders asking them to take “firm position” from the Arab Summit in Damascus, this information revealed by a delegation from one the Arab North-African countries [Libya], in one case in one of the Arab countries an American army commander [navy admiral] escorted the American ambassador to deliver the note, the notes assign the ambassadors to follow up the implementation of its content.
Same newspaper in other report said: “Confirmed information reported that a high-rank Jordanian official visited Damascus to explain Jordan’s King absence from the summit because of the pressures that pushed Jordan to take this position”, and this is also confirmed by Jordanian newspapers “Circumstances of Jordan absence from the Arab summit”:
Jordan found itself under pressure from Saudi Arabia, Egypt and the U.S. to lower-level its participation in the summit for the fear of its interests with Riyadh and political alliance with Egypt.[Jordan is hopping that Syria don’t take revenge, Syria feeds Jordanians with special price wheat]
Another report says:
Member of the Palestinian delegation said: What happened with the Jordanians happened with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, but the latter realized it was a trap, and he decided to not to risk his relation with Syria because he knows the Syrian influence among the Palestinian armed factions, and he don’t wants see the West Bank facing the same fate of Gaza.
P.S.
The Saudis mobilized their journalists in the Saudi-funded media, like Al-Sharq Al-Awasat and Al-Hayat against the summit, according Al-Quds [originally published on Elaph, but they removed it later] the Saudi frustration not only because of the summit but also because of the Gulf countries shifting away from the Saudi orbit.
