BEIRUT: Arab League chief Nabil Elaraby said Sunday there wasn’t the slightest hope that a positive development would occur to resolve the Syrian crisis.

Speaking following a meeting in Saudi Arabia with Prime Minister Najib Mikati, Elaraby said there was great concern over the crisis.

Commenting on the refugees’ issue, Elaraby said refugee aid would be decided at the donor countries conference in Kuwait at the end of the month.

Mikati also held discussions with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.

In a statement released by Mikati’s office, Abbas said after the meeting: “We are aware that many Palestinian refugees have been displaced from Syria to Lebanon and when the crisis reaches a resolution they should go back.”
