The website also noted that “the Saudi Foreign Minister, Faisal Bin Farhan Al-Saud, also declined the invitation for the same reason, charging his deputy to attend the meeting instead.”

“Emirati Foreign Minister Abdullah Bin Zayed Al Nahyan also could not attend, tasking the minister of state, who always attends the Arab League meetings, to go instead.”
