Libya has boycotted the Arab League summit, saying it is not serious about working together.

Abd El Rahman Shalgam, Libya's foreign minister, said the Arab world "is not serious" and that "joint Arab action is dysfunctional".

"Germany and Spain can have different views and also Spain and Italy but there is seriousness in the European actions when they have to act together.

"There is no seriousness in the Arabic actions. For instance, they [Arab countries] consider Iran now as an enemy, not Israel, what is this nonsense?"
