Here are two stories about Saudi Arabia this week:
King Abdullah is allowing a three-month grace period to allow illegal foreign workers to legalize their status. There has been some disorder in the country due to reported mass deportations of illegal foreign workers. Many of these workers are from Arab League member states.
Another story this week is about the relationship with Bahrain and Saudi Arabia. They reiterated their mutual support. Prince Khalifa said that Bahrain "stresses its firm and strong support to the sister state of Saudi Arabia on all measures it takes to preserve its security and boost its stability as it faces terrorism and endeavors to eradicate its roots". Bahrain and Saudi Arabia have made a renewing commitment to anti-terrorism, which can transfer over to Arab League in general.
