Saudi Arabia is to host a meeting of foreign ministers from several Arab states to discuss the Syrian conflict and the rise of Islamic State jihadists, Egypt's foreign ministry announced Saturday.
It said Egypt, Jordan, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia were to take part in Sunday's talks.
The meeting will address "the growing presence in Iraq and Syria of extremists, notably the Islamic State (IS)," the ministry said in a statement.
It added that the rise of IS meant the "search for a political solution to the Syria crisis was needed more than ever".
Since declaring a "caliphate" in June. IS has conducted a lightning offensive, taking control of territory straddling Iraq and Syria.
The jihadists sparked worldwide horror and condemnation this week when they released a video showing the beheading of U.S. journalist James Foley.

True true bashar, hassan, maliki and co. were very successful in stopping isis right? To an extent that the caliphate was declared.
Or is it that ur too worried that once isis is defeated, the world won't need u anymore to destroy the beast u hv created
Not only ud rather see countries destroyed, millions of people displaced and hundred thousands killed, anything works for u if ur precious leaders from hell still run their autocratic regimes

Or keep playing it, soon it'll go to junk
