Arab League gave Syria a Sunday deadline to allow the bloc’s request to send observers to the country or suffer from tightened sanctions. Syria’s latest negotiation attempt with the League may have been a play to buy more time.

Syria has missed several deadlines the Arab League imposed but said over the weekend it is open to allowing Arab monitors into the country.
