Palestine takes presidency of Arab League

Palestine took presidency of the Arab League on Sunday as the council met for its 136th session in Cairo.

Palestine's representative Barakat al-Farra replaced Oman's representative as president of the Arab League. On Tuesday, Palestinian Authority Foreign Minister Riad al-Malki will take over as president of the ministerial council.

Al-Farra said he hoped the 136th session would meet the Arab people's ambitions, the official PA news agency Wafa reported.

"Everybody is looking forward to this session which coincides with major events in the Arab world, namely the Arab Spring, and so it should meet ambitions," Al-Farra said.
