Al Jazeera reports that as the IDF pounds Gaza, Arab leaders debate not what to do, but where to meet.
"Due to the escalation in the Israeli attack on the Gaza Strip, King Abdullah called for an emergency meeting for the GCC countries in the Saudi capital," the statement on Wednesday said.
Saudi plans for the summit in Riyadh on Thursday came a day after Qatar unveiled its own plan for an Arab League summit on the war to be held in Doha, the capital of Qatar, on Friday.
King Abdullah, the Saudi monarch, and Hosni Mubarak, the Egyptian president, have refused to attend the Qatar summit and said they prefer to hold consultations on Gaza on the sidelines of the Arab economic forum to be held in Kuwait next week.
The Arab League later said there was no quorum to convene a summit in Qatar.
Sounds like an emergency to me.
