US criticizes Syria’s readmission into Arab League

WORLD, May 08 (YPA) -The United States on Sunday criticized Syria’s readmission into the Arab League, claiming Damascus does not merit to be brought back into the group, according to a State Department spokesperson

The United States believed, however, that Arab partners intend to use the direct engagement with Assad to push to solve the country’s long-standing crisis and that Washington was aligned with its allies on the “ultimate objectives,” the  spokesperson said.

Arab foreign ministers agreed at their emergency meeting in Cairo on Sunday to return Syria to fill its seat in the Arab League after nearly 12 years of freezing its membership.
