The US Administration close to name an ambassador in Syria, Saudi King in Damascus within two days.

An offi­cial source in the White House told “Al-Khaleej” that the Amer­i­can Admin­is­tra­tion has started a review of a num­ber of names nom­i­nated for U.S. ambas­sador in Dam­as­cus, hours after the depar­ture of Deputy For­eign Min­is­ter Faisal Miqdad.

King Abdul­lah of Saudi Ara­bia will be in Syria within two days (Tues­day accord­ing to news agen­cies, Mon­day after­noon accord­ing to Lebanese Aldiyar) to join Syria’s cel­e­bra­tion of 36th anniver­sary of Octo­ber war with Israel. Accord­ing to Saudi sources: The three days visit will include Dam­as­cus, Latakia and Aleppo.

The sources also con­firmed that the Saudi open­ness on Dam­as­cus will not weaken the “moderate-Arabs” side, or strengthen Iran’s allies, or to influ­ence the Lebanese Prime Min­is­ter Saad al-Hariri to make concessions.
