Egypt is working on unifying the stance of Arab countries vis-a-vis the Syrian crisis. On Nov. 26, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Jordan held a meeting at the level of foreign ministries to look into the developments of the Syrian war.

On the same day, the Egyptian Foreign Ministry issued a statement saying that “the meeting between the four countries discussed ways to resolve the Syrian crisis in accordance with UN Security Council Resolution 2254, in a manner that preserves Syria’s unity and territorial integrity.”
