The list of absences is growing for the Arab summit in Algiers, scheduled for Tuesday. After the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, the Sultan of Oman, the King of Bahrain and the King of Jordan, the Emir of Kuwait, Sheikh Nawaf Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, also announced on Monday that he won’t make it to the summit.
The snowball effect of absenteeism began with the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Salman, who cited an “ear trauma” preventing him from traveling on medical recommendations and then continued with an apology from King Abdullah II of Jordan, the Sultan of Oman, King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa of Bahrain and the resigning Lebanese President, Michel Aoun.
It is not yet clear whether King Mohammed VI will make the trip to Algiers.
