Former Top Arab Officials Bolster Qatar Call for Arab League Force In Syria | After the Emir of Qatar called for an Arab League military intervention in Syria, he was bolstered by two former top Arab officials — Amr Moussa, the Egyptian former Arab League secretary-general, and Saad Hariri, the former Lebanese prime minister. “The Arab League council will meet very soon to study the issue of replacing the monitoring mission with an Arab military force to separate between the army and civilians,” Moussa told the Lebanese Daily Star newspaper on the sidelines of a conference. “We should not rule out any proposal from the head of an Arab state.” Hariri, in response to a question about the Qatari Emir’s call, tweeted: “I am all for it.” (HT: Adam Makary)
