AMMAN — The clear and unified Arab message regarding the Mideast peace process, the high-level of attendance by Arab leaders, and the reconciliation between Arab leaders were key achievements of the Arab summit hosted on Wednesday by Jordan.

Pundits interviewed by The Jordan Times said the summit succeeded in repositioning the Palestinian issue as a top priority for Arab states despite challenging regional conditions, combined with highly sophisticated issues and busy agendas.

The presence of 15 heads of Arab states, amidst unprecedented attendance by officials from the US, the EU and the UN, among others, was a key accomplishment for the summit, during which Jordan succeeded in facilitating reconciliation and enhancing ties among a number of Arab states.

“This is one of the best summits held since the start of the Arab Spring… High-level representation of Arab states, and the attendance of kings, emirs, and presidents of many Arab states is in itself a success, in light of regional conditions,” Oraib Rantawi, head of Al Quds Centre for Strategic Studies, told The Jordan Times Thursday.
