Sources: Freezing Syria’s Arab League membership ‘out of the question’

Suspending or freezing Syria's membership during the Arab League's urgent meeting on Wednesday is out of the question, Arab diplomatic sources have said.

It is unclear where such a move would lead, particularly because the situation in Syria is different from that in Libya, one source added.

The same sources said the meeting would focus on examining Syria's response to the Arab Roadmap for ending violence there, which was proposed by the Arab ministerial committee in Doha Sunday, according to MENA.

The proposed plan calls for ending violence, withdrawing tanks from the streets, releasing detainees, and holding a national conference for dialogue between the regime and the opposition under the auspices of the Arab League, the sources said.

The Arab League meeting, which will be held at the cabinet level, will also discuss the results of the committee's communications with Syrian leaders and the results of its visit to Damascus.
