Qataris as Political Peacemakers?
May 19th, 2008 by Amanda
Rami Khouri at the Daily Star comments on the role of Qatari-led Arab negotiators in the mediation process between the Sinoira government in Lebanon and the Hizbullah. He states that while Lebanon’s leaders have agreed to “keep meeting until they resolve their current political impasse,” policymakers should address the “real issue” at hand, which is “the viability, credibility and legitimacy of Arab statehood.”
Also at the Daily Star, Chibli Mallat also provides analysis on Doha’s role in the conflict, saying that “the government must also insist that Parliament is the only constitutional place for the dialogue between the Lebanese factions. Doha and other locations are unconstitutional as alternatives to parliamentary sessions.”
