based Al-Jazirah, commenting on the visit of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to the Kingdom, said the Palestinian problem, which constitutes the major Arab problem, strongly returns to the regional and international concern after the endeavor of the US administration to persuade the Palestinians and Israelis to go back to the negotiations table for paving the way for the establishment of a Palestinian state. Washington is trying to gain the support of the Arabs after its failure to check the Israeli settlement policy because the US administration is keen on obtaining the support of the Arabs in its dispute with Tehran, the daily elaborated. It called for an Arab strategy for dealing with the recent developments noting that the Kingdom under the leadership of King Abdullah Bin Abdul-Aziz has been working for unifying the Arab ranks. On the same topic, the Dammam-based al-Youm said the Kingdom has been working to enhance the pillars of the joint Arab work and the efforts of King Abdullah Bin Abdul-Aziz, which have always been focused on integrating the ranks of the influential countries in the region. The daily believes that the Saudi-Syrian rapprochement has positively contributed to the restoration of normality to Lebanon. If reports about the possibility of participation of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak in the summit of Riyadh are true, then that development will constitute a beginning for an important stage that paves the way for reconciliation of Cairo and Damascus, said the daily noting that the Saudi, Syrian and Egyptian triangle is capable of improving the current miserable situation in the Arab world.
