GCC countries especially, Saudi Arabia, restored full relations with Qatar, after a landmark summit, ending a damaging rift that erupted in 2017.
The four nations, led by Saudi Arabia, had cut ties and transport links with Qatar in June 2017, alleging it was close to Iran and backed radical anti GCC groups. Qatar had always denied these allegations.
“What happened today is… the turning of the page on all points of difference and a full return of diplomatic relations,” Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan said following the landmark summit in the desert city of Al-Ula.
