In what may be a sign that crucial Gulf Arab support for Syria is beginning to materialize, Saudi Arabia plans to pay off Syria's debts to the World Bank. This would pave the way for the approval of millions of dollars in grants for reconstruction and to support the country's paralyzed public sector.
The plans, which have not been previously reported, would be the first known instance of Saudi Arabia providing financing for Syria since Islamist-led rebels toppled former leader Bashar al-Assad last year.
