Arab League Secretary-General Ahmed Aboul Gheit expressed on Friday his rejection of the “negative media campaign against Saudi Arabia in wake of OPEC+’s partial oil cut” last week.

A spokesman for Aboul Gheit said the “baseless” statements are “far removed from the truth.”

“Rather, they are aimed at politicizing purely economic decisions that everyone realizes are necessary for the stability of the global economy given the dangerous challenges it is facing,” he added.

He hailed “Saudi Arabia’s balanced approach in stabilizing the oil markets and its firm stances towards regional and international political affairs.”

Syria's de facto leader Ahmed al-Sharaa received a delegation from Bahrain on Wednesday and met with the Bahraini foreign minister, state media reported.

The visit was the latest in a flurry of diplomatic overtures by Arab countries to Syria’s new leaders after they overthrew former President Bashar al-Assad in a lightning rebel offensive.

Like other Gulf countries, Bahrain had cut off diplomatic ties with Syria under Assad’s rule during the Syrian civil war, but it reopened its embassy in Damascus in 2018 and gradually restored ties with the Assad government.

Bahrain is the current head of the Arab summit, and days after Assad’s ouster it had sent a message to al-Sharaa offering its cooperation with the new authorities and saying, “We look forward to Syria regaining its authentic role in the Arab League.”
