"Saudi Arabia and Qatar
want to fund and arm the rebels, but Western powers have misgivings about
sending more weapons into what could become a wider sectarian
conflict. Qatari
Prime Minister Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim al-Thani called in Paris for the Security
Council to be sidestepped. "Are
we able to do something outside the Security Council? Yes. Have we done things
outside the Security Council in the past? Yes, and there are many examples
... "We
are ready to take part in any effort of any kind to free the Syrian people of
this tragedy they are in.""
