Ahmed Aboul Gheit Heading the League of Arab Nations and the Outlook of Arab-Arab Struggle (Behzad Khoshandam, Iran Review)

The concurrence between appointment of Ahmed Aboul Gheit as the new secretary general of the Arab League in July 2016 and labeling of the Lebanese Hezbollah movement as a terrorist group in the organizations’ latest meeting in Cairo, Egypt, again in 2016, which followed a similar decision by the (Persian) Gulf Cooperation Council [(P)GCC], are among important issues to be taken into account for assessing future performance and effectiveness of this body on the world stage. Also, the simultaneity between choosing the Arab League’s new secretary general in early 2016 and labeling of Hezbollah as terrorist raises one question: can we expect changes in the Arab League’s announced and proclaimed actions and dynamism with regard to evolving developments in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) under the chairmanship of Ahmed Aboul Gheit?
