The Joint Defence Council meeting scheduled for Thursday at the Arab League
headquarters in Cairo has been postponed as requested by the Saudi
government on Wednesday, Al-Ahram Arabic News website reported.

An official statement issued by the General Secretariat of the Arab League
on Wednesday afternoon announced that the Arab league received memos from
Bahrain, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Qatar and Iraq agreeing to the Saudi
request.

The Joint Defence Council meeting was to draft a protocol for a Arab Joint
Force.

The General Secretariat added that the meeting was postponed to unspecified
date after the secretary general consulted Egypt, the current president of
the Arab Summit.

Egypt's President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi had proposed the formation of a
combined Arab force to the Arab summit which took place in March 2015 in
Sharm El-Sheikh.

According to the summit's March stipulation, the Joint Arab Force is
intended to combat security threats to the Arab region, particularly from
"terrorist" organisation.

The Arab countries' heads of state have twice met in Cairo, in April and
May, where they drew up a draft protocol for the creation of the Force.
