An informed Arab source told Anadolu Agency that “there may be a real step towards a Gulf reconciliation.”
An Arab source familiar with current movements in the file on the Gulf crisis told Anadolu Agency on Wednesday that “there may be a real step towards a Gulf reconciliation.”
The source, who requested anonymity, added that “a statement is supposed to be issued in a few hours towards a Gulf reconciliation.”
At the same time, however, he did not rule out “a sharp change in the course of expectations related to the 3-year crisis.” He did not want to reveal more details.
Since June 5, 2017, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Egypt have imposed a land, air and sea blockade on Qatar. By claiming its support for terrorism and its relationship with Iran, Doha denies its accusation of terrorism and considers it “an attempt to undermine its sovereignty and its independent decision.”
Earlier on Wednesday, the Qatari channel Al-Jazeera reported that Gulf sources said the next few hours may see a development in the Gulf crisis.
And the sources spoke of “the existence of an active movement and discussions that are taking place in the meantime, which can lead to important results.”
The Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad, spoke with Jared Kushner, senior adviser to US President Donald Trump, on Wednesday on regional and international affairs, especially developments in the Middle East region, according to a statement from Qatar.
The statement did not elaborate on Kushner’s visit, but US media said that the visit of Trump’s son-in-law and adviser to Qatar is aimed at “securing more diplomatic agreements in the Middle East before leaving the White House next January.” .
Kushner is also scheduled to travel to Saudi Arabia, as the American “Wall Street Journal” quoted US and Gulf officials (unnamed) as saying that “Kushner will meet with the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Salman, at the city of Neom (north of the kingdom) “.
Officials suggested that Kushner’s meetings in Qatar and Saudi Arabia would discuss various issues, notably the Gulf crisis and normalization of relations with Israel, in addition to Iranian influence in the region.
Doha repeatedly highlighted the need to resolve the Gulf crisis through dialogue without preconditions, which is what Kuwait, along with the Sultanate of Oman, are making mediation efforts to complete.
In mid-September, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, Saudi allies, signed two agreements with Israel to normalize relations, in an unprecedented move from the Gulf, under the auspices of the United States.
