Bahrain began sending invitations to Arab leaders to attend the 33rd Arab League summit that it will host in May.

Emir of Kuwait Sheikh Mishal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah received on Monday a written message from King of Bahrain Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa to attend the Manama summit.

The message was delivered by Bahrain’s Ambassador to Kuwait Salah al-Maliki.

The summit will be held on May 16.

Saudi Arabia’s Jeddah held the 32nd summit on May 19, 2023. It witnessed the participation of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad for the first time since his country’s membership at the Arab League was suspended in November 2011.

Syria was reinstated as a member on May 7, 2023.

Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy also attended the Jeddah summit as a guest of honor.

US President Donald Trump arrived in Doha on Wednesday on the second leg of his Gulf tour that he started in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday.

He was welcomed upon his arrival by Emir of Qatar Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani.

Meeting later at the Royal Palace in Doha, Trump and Sheikh Tamim signed economic and defense agreements.

The first had Qatar buying airplanes from Boeing, the American aerospace company whose chief executive attended the event. Trump said it was the largest order of jets in the company history, worth over $200 billion.

Next up was a defense deal and the purchase of military drones.

The final cooperation agreement was signed by Trump and Al Thani themselves.

Before departing to Doha, Trump sat down for a historic meeting with Syrian interim President Ahmed al-Sharaa in Riyadh.

Trump said the rapprochement with Syria came at the urging of Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Saudi Crown Prince and Prime Minister, and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

“There is a new government that will hopefully succeed,” said Trump, who announced he'll move to lift sanctions on Syria to give the country “a chance at peace.”
