Arab newspapers called for action rather than words after the just-concluded Arab summit in Algiers which pledged total support for the Palestinian uprising in Israel’s occupied territories. “The everlasting question which persists after Arab summits remains: How will such decisions be translated into action, and what are the guarantees for Arab commitment to them?� asked an editorial in the Sharjah newspaper Al Khaleej. In Kuwait, meanwhile, the newspaper Al-Rai Aam said that Arab leaders at the summit promised to pay a monthly subsidy of $42 million to support the activities of the Palestine Liberation Organization.
