CAIRO – On Saturday, Qatar foreign minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani said that there had been “no breakthrough” in the nearly three-year-old talks on the Gulf diplomatic dispute.
He said that Qatar hoped for a solution where Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain and Egypt severed ties with the country mid-2017 over terrorism accusations and maintaining close ties with regional foe Iran.
He said that efforts to reach a solution were unsuccessful.
Qatar denies the accusations saying that the embargo is to undermine its sovereignty and remains to be open to positive solutions based on respecting sovereignty.
Talks between Saudi Arabia and Qatar broke down as quickly as they began leaving the embargo on Doha which is hampering joint Gulf Arab efforts to counter Iran.
