Earlier, UAE Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Dr Anwar Mohammad Gargash reiterated his warning that Doha would face divorce if the matter is not resolved.
“We are at a crucial historic crossroads that has nothing to do with sovereignty and with a common approach and common commitments at its core,” Gargash said on his Twitter account.
“The choices are either we take care of the common features and we refrain from undermining or destroying them or we go our separate ways,” he posted to his 410,000 followers on Twitter.
