Arab foreign ministers will meet on Sunday in Jeddah to discuss developments in Syria and select a replacement for Kofi Annan as the United Nations-Arab League envoy, the Jerusalem Post cites  Egyptian state TV as saying on Saturday.

The meeting comes before Muslim leaders meet in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday for an Organization of Islamic Cooperation summit.

"Arab foreign ministers will hold a meeting tomorrow in Jeddah to discuss who will be appointed as a successor to Annan," deputy Arab League chief Ahmed Ben Helli told reporters.
