Earlier in the week that the us may decide whether armed Syrian rebels, U.S. officials said on Monday, secretary of state, John kerry, who proposed the trip to the Middle East, the theme of the meeting.
Tilt to the rebels in Syria a civil war battlefield and hizbullah in Lebanon to Syria's President bashar assad's side into battle, strategic town help his troops recapture Qusair last week.
However, the White House has debate for several months, whether to give weapons to the insurgents and an American officials stressed that the decision may be earlier in the week, discussion on this issue can be easily take longer.
U.S. officials insist that, Washington won't put the "boots on the ground, which means that the deployment of troops.
, a former senior U.S. official who worked in Syria policy, Frederick hoff said, the government may decide to take responsible for distribution of weapons to the insurgents, but doesn't necessarily provide weapons in the United States.
Withdrawal of U.S. withdrawal from Iraq, and stop the war against the taliban in Afghanistan, President Obama sought to avoid a deeper extent to participate in the Syrian civil war.
Military transformation of assad's momentum, the United States and Russia's peace conference schedule of rebels and the government talks are unlikely to produce a political transition in negotiation, removing assad from power.
Mr Assad's forces, hezbollah and Iran's support, competitive, and he is a little incentive, to give up power.
Focus on revolt against Mr Assad in Syria, has seen at least 80000 people were killed and thousands of refugees into Turkey, Jordan, and millions of people have been displaced into has sent hundreds of Syria two years.
The consensus is ELUSIVE
Kerry delayed plans to travel to Israel and the Palestinian territories to attend this week meeting referred to as "routine" by the state council, including Syria's topic.
In the United States and other countries the government also said Mr Assad's forces may be evidence of use of chemical weapons, Obama has table shown will be through a "red line".
This week's meeting is a sign of Syria, bashar al-assad's forces suggests that chemical weapons used, it is ready, in order to response the Obama administration has decided to obtain evidence, a U.S. official said.
, the official said Obama did not set a timetable, the U.S. intelligence community assessment and investigation is still on chemical weapons.
Whether armed rebels to reach consensus, remain elusive, with U.S. policy makers remain concerned about wrestling any American weapons might fall into the wrong hands.
In addition, Obama and his national security team is expected to occupy much time disputes more and more families in the government's monitoring program.
One western diplomat said, decided to arming the rebels is full of risks, could backfire.
"If the armed rebels, they risk falling into the wrong hands, but, if you don't do it, then killing thousands of people left hizbullah and Nusrah you. This is the worst risk? This is a political decision diplomatic source said:" the leaders will need to decide.
Hoff, now in the Atlantic council, analysts say the White House may decide to take responsible for distribution of weapons to the insurgents, but doesn't necessarily provide weapons in the United States.
"If the President is to make such a decision, this week... I doubt it will be a charge process, through careful audit unit of the free Syrian army to get what they need, whether in the United States decided to fatal and non-fatal (aid)," hoff said.
He also suggested that this kind of aid can by salim idris's supreme military council, the main civil military wing funnel, opposition groups to help former Syrian officers to win credibility, with other warriors, perhaps greater control over control the anti-assad fighters.
"American leadership"
Obama's transfer policy this year to the United States medical kits and anti-government armed military rations. Weapons, however, has left the Arab countries, such as Saudi Arabia and Qatar.
Need "always here is in the process of leadership and management in the United States, if left in the hands of the local actors, as long as the accumulation of customers uneven results and performance of the power supply system," hoff said.
By focusing on delivering weapons - regardless of its source - it might be easier to get the rebels to work with, rather than as a single command organ and a variety of external forces loyal multiple militia.
A possible moves by the United States armed rebels first reported the Associated Press late Sunday.
Kernel Psaki, state department spokesman, said Washington has been looking for what it can do, to help the opposition, including help maintain have seized on the ground and get from the government.
