The US has already specified the outcome of the Arab League summit taking place in Riyadh, Muammar Gaddafi, Libya's president, has told Al Jazeera.
He said in an interview that Arab leaders should "stay at home" rather than try and help their Palestinian brothers at Wednesday's summit, which is expected to renew a peace proposal with Israel while demanding that Israel withdraw from The West Bank and compensate the refugees.
"Arab leaders should not attend the summit. They should stay at home - issues have already been decided from outside but most of all they have not asked me to be leader because I was a coward and gave my weapons to the Americans before," he said.
The Libyan leader, who is boycotting the summit, said Condoleezza Rice, the US secretary of state, "gives orders" to Arab leaders now as she did to him not so long ago.
Rice ordered King Abdullah of Saudi to say "In beloved Iraq, blood flows between brothers in the shadow of illegitimate foreign occupation and hateful sectarianism, threatening a civil war."
