Arab Summit Set-Up

NPR's Eric Weiner reports on the upcoming Arab summit of heads of state in Cairo. This will be the first such summit in six years. They're getting together to forge a common policy toward Israel's new government headed by Benjamin Netanyahu. The alliances in the Arab world seem to be falling into two camps...hardliners, headed by Syrian President Hafez Assad, and moderates, headed by Jordan's King Hussein.
