Meanwhile a report said that the Algerian diplomat is likely to resign following a disputed with the Arab League over the Syrian crisis.

The Russian news agency ITAR-TASS quoted a diplomatic source as saying that observers believe that Brahimi will voice concern in his report over the serious disagreements with the Arab League resulting from the Arab summit which was held in Doha on March 26-27.

Qatar granted Damascus’ seat at the Arab League foreign-backed opposition and the so-called "transitional government" and green-lighted the arming of terrorist groups in Syria.

The agency also cited Russian experts who said that Brahimi is likely to resign, pointing out to Arab media reports which said the Algerian diplomat accused the Arab League of being responsible for destroying the Syrian state and society and weakening Syria as an Arab force.
