Arab States Threaten to Boycott Mediterranean Summit
(Ha'aretz) Barak Ravid - Arab countries, led by Egypt and Syria, are threatening to boycott a June meeting of the Mediterranean Union in Barcelona if Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman attends. European diplomats said there is disappointment and even anger in Europe over the Arab countries' stance. The feeling at the Foreign Ministry is that the Arab threat could lead to the summit either being canceled entirely or convening at a lower level, with officials of ambassadorial rank only.
