The officials said Friday that the direction within the League is to keep the mission in place as the international community is not yet ready for “escalation” to an intervention in Syria.
Qatar, a harsh critic of the Syrian crackdown on protesters, has called for the dispatch of Arab troops to the country, where 10 months of unrest and crackdown have left thousands dead.
Arab League foreign ministers were set to meet Sunday in Cairo to discuss the future of a one-month observer mission, which expired on Thursday.
