Arab League

"Lebanese intellectual Assad Abu Khalil writes: “The Arab League’s motives are not related to the Arab uprisings. They are part of US regional orders. They are also part of the rising ambition of the emirate of Qatar: It now wants to prove to the US that it can be as subservient and loyal to US imperial interests as Saudi Arabia and Jordan. Qatar is proving its usefulness to the US (and Israel). The Arab League has proven that it can only be allowed to be relevant to the extent to which it can strictly follow US dictates.” Is Abu Khalil right to conclude: “That is why it is preferable that the Arab League remains irrelevant”?"
