There is growing optimism that a diplomatic and security
deal stuck this week between
Qatar and other
Gulf nations to respect one a**ther?s sovereignty will
finally end months of tension. Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates withdrew their ambassadors from
Qatar in March, accusing Doha of meddling in their internal affairs. Euronews? correspondent in Dubai François Chignac,said: ??The press led
with the deal, detailing the backstage talks without giving any real details of it. Yet these are the questions that **w need to be asked, because even if the
Gulf monarchies fall out from time to time, they can**t remain disunited for long as political problems in the region are frequent. Most **tably Syria and its refugee crisis, which is destabilising neighbouring Arab countries and the growing power of Iran which worries many of the Sunni-led Arab states. Tehran has the power to create regional discord for its own ends.??
tension initially rose in July after Doha supported Egypt?s Islamist president Mohamed Morsi, in direct contrast to the other
Gulf Cooperation Council members. Doha?s suspected backing of Islamist militants in Syria and the region has also been a major bone of contention between
Qatar and its Arab neighbours. Euronews? Doha correspondent Maha Barada said: ??While this truce potentially
ends the row for **w, it is unclear if there has been any shift in views on how to
deal with crucial issues affecting the region. For instance observers want to k**w if
Qatar has agreed to stop its support for the Muslim Brotherhood, bringing it into line
with the policies of Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain. It is unclear if the agreement has resulted in such a step.??
