1. (C) The Ambassador conveyed reftel points to MFA Secretary
for Arab Affairs (A/S-equivalent) Muhammad Taher Siala on
January 13, underscoring the importance of supporting the
Egyptian-Israeli dialogue, avoiding any diplomatic activity that
undermines Egypt's efforts and calling for a responsible
approach to regional economic integration at the upcoming Arab
Economic Summit in Kuwait. Siala took our points onboard, but
cautioned that there was confusion among Arab League (AL) member
states since their understanding was that there were invitations
to two separate emergency meetings on Gaza: an Arab League
Ministerial meeting to be held in Kuwait on January 16, and a
second "extraordinary summit" of AL leaders, to be held in Qatar
