The Arab League intends to send Brazil a political message against its decision to open a trade office in Jerusalem, two senior Arab diplomats said.

A meeting to discuss the issue was proposed by the Palestinian Authority and endorsed by other members of the league, including Egypt and Jordan. It will take place on Thursday morning at the league’s headquarters in Cairo.
