Arab foreign ministers will call at their meeting on Sunday for the election of Gen. Michel Suleiman as president so the army commander, as a neutral leader, can discuss the various issues, including the opposition's demand of a national unity government. The pan-Arab daily al-Hayat, citing Arab sources in Cairo, said on Saturday that the Arab foreign ministers are likely to ask Syria to "cooperate over Lebanon." The sources also said that the Arab foreign ministers will possibly "consider" remarks by Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Muallem that a Lebanon settlement can only be reached through consensus as a fact that could be "achieved" if a president is elected. Al Hayat quoted the sources as saying that the Arab foreign ministers' meeting will be a "turning point." The sources hoped that the meeting would provide "a minimum Arab understanding over Lebanon." The daily said that the Arab foreign ministers cannot adopt either Lebanese demands, adding that thorny issues cannot be discussed before a consensus President is elected.
