The absence of direct reference to these developments reflects the League\u2019s cautious diplomatic posture and the sensitivity surrounding the future of power-sharing in Syria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Additional Reporting by Ahmad Othman&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Kardo Roj BAGHDAD, Iraq (North Press) \u2013 The final communiqu\u00e9 of the 34th Arab League Summit, held Saturday in Baghdad, voiced unified support for Syria\u2019s sovereignty and territorial integrity, while strongly condemning foreign interventions and repeated Israeli airstrikes on Syrian soil.
