Interesting post suggesting that Al Jazeera may be back in Saudi Arabia.

The Jeddah summit between Qatari Emir Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani and Saudi King Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz resulted in a deal, according to an article in Kuwaiti newspaper al-Jarida:

• Saudi Arabia would return its ambassador to Qatar. There has been no Saudi envoy in Doha since he was recalled in 2002.
• Saudi King Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz would attend the Gulf Cooperation Council in Qatar in December. Abdullah had boycotted the meeting of regional leaders when it was last hosted in Doha in 2002.
• Qatar would see to it that al-Jazeera broadcasts would no longer “undermine” or “campaign” against Saudi Arabia.
• Saudi Arabia would in turn permit al-Jazeera to establish a bureau in Riyadh.

Also included in the Qatari entourage, and reportedly present at the meeting of the two leaders, was al-Jazeera chairman Sheikh Hamad bin Thamir al-Thani. According to al-Jarida, the chairman said further changes to al-Jazeera’s management positions were likely this year – only months after the reshuffle of the channel’s board of directors.
