Saudi Arabia Seeks to Resolve Qatar Crisis as ‘Gift’ to Joe Biden

Qatari Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdul Rahman Al Thani revealed Friday that “there is now a movement to resolve the Gulf conflict,” noting that the solution to the Gulf dispute “must be comprehensive.”

The Qatari minister added, ” hoped “things will move in the right direction right now” but that any resolution should be “holistic” and based on mutual respect for sovereignty, including in foreign policy.

Arab media reports had reported, earlier, that the Qatari Gulf crisis is witnessing moves to end the crisis since 2017, in light of the visit of Jared Kushner, US President Donald Trump’s envoy to the region.

Earlier this week, media reports said that Jared Kushner, would visit Saudi Arabia and Qatar, trying to score diplomatic victories in the region before leaving the White House.

The “Financial Times” newspaper quoted sources that Saudi Arabia is currently intensifying its efforts to solve the Gulf crisis, which has been going on for more than three years, after Donald Trump’s defeat in the elections.

The newspaper considered that this step of ending the boycott of Qatar by three Gulf states is seen as a Saudi attempt to improve relationships with the new administration of President-elect Joe Biden.
