Foreign Minister Prince Saud Al-Faisal is leading the Saudi delegation to the deliberations of the Extraordinary Arab Ministerial Council which started here today at the Arab League headquarters under the chairmanship of UAE's Foreign Minister Sheikh Abdullah bin Zaid. The council deliberations will discuss four essential issues: Arab Ministerial report which had briefed the UN on the Lebanese issue before the issuance of 1701 resolution, developments of Arab efforts to hold a high-level meeting to discuss a way to the Arab-Israeli conflict at all accounts, an Arab projector mechanism to help Lebanon in reconstruction, and follow-up of consultations to hold an Arab summit. This council comes within the framework of implementation of the decision issued at the Extraordinary Arab Ministerial Meeting in Beirut on the 7th of August. An official source at Arab League said that today's council constitutes a transitional point of Arab League efforts from solidarity phase when Lebanon was under attack to the phase of handling the massive destruction caused by the Israeli aggression and enabling the Lebanese government to reconstruct the infrastructure.
