The Fourth session of FIKR10 tackled the interactions between the Arab countries, their neighbors and the world. The audience elaborated on Arab-Arab relations and Arab- Foreign relations, analyzing all aspects of foreign interference in the Arab Spring and questioning the role of the Arab League in the lights of the current changes. The panel was moderated by Saad M F T Alajmi, Publisher of Alaan E-magazine, State of Kuwait.  The first intervention was initiated by HRH Prince Turki AlFaisal, Chairman of the Board of King Faisal Center for Research and Islamic Studies, who said "The last picture of the Arab World movements hasn't been completed yet, hence what is called Arab Spring. I describe it as a "seed " that hasn't grown yet, and what we need the most today is to use our mind wisely". AlFaisal asserted that what happened in the Arab World not only affected the Arab world and the region but the whole world. In an approach to the Arab League effect on the situation, AlFaisal noted that the evolvement of the Arab League last year influenced the general situation in the Arab World and the global system.
In his turn, Mohamed El-Hacen Ould Lebatt, University Professor and International Expert, Mauritania, stated that the Arab League was late in supporting the pulse of regeneration and wilingness for democracy. At the time when the African League was proving brave stances with regard to what is happening in Egypt, Tunisia and Libya, the Arab League was whipping away the "dust of the past" until it started showing interest in the changes taking place in the Arab region in a later stage. Therefore, it is important that the Arab League reviews the basis on which it was established to enhance the political and legal values of its constitution.

Abdul Hussain Shaban, Head of the Documentation Centre of International Law in Beirut, Lebanon, described the Arab Spring to be a fresh breeze before the rain drops, hence it troubled the Arabs and the World. He added; the events that took place on the Arab scene were included on the agenda of the Arab League specifically the Libyan incident. In consequence, the 1973 resolution was issued to legitimize the military intervention after presenting the case to the Security Council. However, the Arab League system is still way behind compared to the development that took place on the regional and international scene. The question that everybody asks but no one has an answer to is: how will the Arab League remove all the negativity in its stances, relations and management?

In the same context, Meftah Etwilb, Director of International Relations, Libyan Red Crescent, Libya talked about the role of Turkey in making way to the International intervention in Libya. Etwilb stated that at the beginning, the Turkish intervention was smooth based on the diplomacy of humanitarian aid  then it started to win both the rebels and government vote at the same time by finding a political solution. However, the Libyan street aggressively reacted to the Turkish stand and refused all humanitarian aid that it was offering. Turkey lost hope in finding a solution in Libya or in communicating with the regime.
Eltwilib considered that Turkey’s role in the region is part of its strategy and effort to join the European Union.

As for the Iranian- Turkish vision, Abdul Hussain Shaban said " Iran has its own, private plan and Turkey too, meanwhile Arabs don't have one at all"

The session was concluded with the audience’s questions about Syria and the context of the rapid developments of events in the region along with assessing the role of the Gulf Cooperation Council in the Arab Spring.
