The Secretary-General of the League of Arab States, Ahmed Aboul Gheit,  that "the positions [of the Arab League] in regards to Turkey and Iran have been mitigated."

Aboul Gheit noted that this breakthrough in affinity with neighbors had precursory events that paved the way for it as there were signs of prospective calm in Turkish-Egyptian and Saudi-Iranian relations.

Aboul Gheit explained that this calm "was reflected in the decisions adopted by the Arab world towards neighboring countries." 

Aboul Gheit also extended his gratitude to Oman and Iraq in regard to paving the way for Arab-Iranian affinity and specifically praising the recent efforts by Oman to restore relations between Iran and Egypt. 

Likewise, Aboul Gheit drew attention to the role Qatar played in paving the way for an Egyptian-Turkish rapprochement in the World Cup opening ceremony where they had sat Erdogan next to El-Sisi.
