Arab League Secretary-General Nabil Elaraby was supported to arrive in the Mukata in Ramallah on Monday, 7 Sivan, but according to PA (Palestinian Authority) sources, scheduling problems prevented the visit with PA leaders.

The Arabic al-Quds newspaper on Tuesday reports the reason he did not and will not visit is Israel’s refusal to permit Elaraby to fly from Jordan to Ramallah in a chopper. Hence the cancelation.

Israel is criticized for preventing the meeting of the senior official, blaming Israel for preventing ongoing peace-making efforts with the PA.
