Qatar’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs H.E. Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani has confirmed on Wednesday that a breakthrough has been achieved in putting an end to the Gulf crisis.

He added that there are no obstacles at political level to solving Gulf crisis.

Three years ago, an air, land and sea blockade was imposed on Qatar by four Arab countries.

Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Egypt cut diplomatic and trade ties with Doha, and imposed a sea, land and air blockade on Qatar in June 2017, claiming it supported “terrorism” and was too close to Iran.

In a press conference in Moscow, the minister said that the breakthrough in the Gulf crisis is evident in a statement issued by Kuwait two weeks ago, 'a preliminary agreement regarding the framework for reaching reconciliation' had taken place. 

“All Gulf nations will emerge victorious from the crisis if we are able to rebuild confidence within the Cooperation Council as a regional institution,” he said.

According to the Qatari foreign minister, the discussions held by Qatar on resolving the crisis were with Saudi Arabia only, but the Kingdom represents the rest of the partie and described the negotiations as “fruitful.”

He also said that the continuation of the dispute does not serve the interest of any of the Gulf countries, stressing that the people of the Gulf Cooperation Council members are the biggest losers of the crisis.

Referring to the Palestinian issue, the minister said there is no solution except for ending the Israeli occupation and establishing a Palestinian state.
