TUNIS (Halbeeg News) – Djibouti President, Ismael Omar Gueleh has arrived in Tunis, the capital city of Tunisia on Saturday.
The president and his delegation were welcomed at the airport by officials from the government of Tunisia.
President Gurley is expected to attend 30th Ordinary Arab Summit which is scheduled to kick off on Sunday.
Mohamed Ali Youssouf, Djibouti Minister for Foreign Affairs said the President will address the summit about Djibouti’s position on Arab issues and means to resolve the current challenges.
The summit is expected to discuss the Trump administration’s acceptance of Israeli control over the Golan Heights and Jerusalem.
Arab states have long demanded its return and condemned U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision to recognize Israeli sovereignty over it earlier this week.
Arab League spokesman Mahmoud Afifi said the 22-member bloc would aim to issue a proclamation on the Golan, but experts expect little more than a standard denunciation.
“It will be just a very strong, theatrical, nice, maybe strong statement,” said Ahmed Abd Rabou, a visiting professor of international affairs at the University of Denver. “But I doubt that this will have a true political effect.”
Israel seized the Golan Heights in the 1967 Mideast war after Syria had for years used the strategic plateau to shell northern Israel
