Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates,
Egypt and Bahrain stated that they are cutting diplomatic relations with Qatar.
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia said it
was cutting the ties to its neighbour and has pulled all Qatari troops from the
ongoing war in Yemen.
This was announced through the state-run
Saudi Press Agency early Monday
morning, the 5th of June saying “it
was taking the action for what it called the protection of national security”.
The statement seem to come timely in
line with an earlier announcement by Bahrain similarly cutting ties.
No immediate comment from Qatar.
The dispute between Qatar and the
Gulf’s Arab countries escalated after a recent hack of Qatar’s state-run news
agency. It has spiraled since.
