Arab governments to take action against ISIS

According to the media reports, the minister agrees upon taking action against the invading militants  particularly the Islamic State (IS), but did not assert their possible coordination with the US.

Jordan’s Minister of State for Media Affairs Mohammad Momani said Jordan will continue to coordinate with all countries on how to face terrorism and terrorist organisations.

They also called on Arab states that are not yet members of “The Arab Convention on the Suppression of Terrorism” to join the effort as quickly as possible, calling for national and regional strategies against terrorism.

At a meeting in Cairo on Sunday, the ministers agreed to cooperate to deny the extremist group any sort of access to financial support or political concessions, Xinhua reported.

Sources claim that Arab states would agree to coordinate with US army to act against ISIS in the form of operations, which controls large parts of Syria and Iraq. But the meeting fell short of clearly adopting any stance in such cooperation.

Speaking at the NATO summit in Wales, US President Barack Obama said a “core coalition” is formed to tackle the ISIS threat, and Washington would destroy the group, just as it had gone after Al Qaeda.
