Arab States Recognize Only Kuwait as Mediator in Qatar Diplomatic Row – Bahrain

According to the minister, Doha continues to undermine security of the four nations with which it is currently involved in a diplomatic row by "sticking to its policy of taking unilateral decisions, accepting and harboring terrorists and extremists."

In June, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Egypt broke off diplomatic relations with Qatar, accusing it of supporting terrorism and interfering in their internal affairs. Kuwait, acting as a mediator in the crisis, handed over the 13 demands of the four Arab states, which Doha has refused to comply with.
