Gulf envoys withdrawn from Qatar
Wednesday, 5 March 2014
Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and the UAE have withdrawn their ambassadors from Qatar amid accusations that it has meddled in internal affairs. The three countries, who are all part of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) along with Qatar, made the joint statement on Wednesday. The statement claims that Qatar failed to commit to an agreement it signed three months ago. Tensions between Qatar and the rest of the GCC have increased in recent years, according to BBC.
