Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates have cut diplomatic ties with Qatar, accusing it of destabilising the region.
They say Qatar backs terrorist groups including Islamic State (IS).
The Saudi state news agency SPA said Riyadh had closed its borders, severing land, sea and air contact with Qatar and largely isolating it.
It cited officials as saying it was to “protect its national security from the dangers of terrorism and extremism”
-The UAE has given Qatar’s diplomatic mission in Abu Dhabi 48 hours to leave the country after what it said where “Doha’s several policies which destabilizes the security and stability of the region and manipulates commitments”.
-The UAE informed Qatari citizens they had 14 days to leave the UAE. Citizens from Qatar have also been banned from passing through the UAE.
-Emiratis are now banned from visiting or even passing by Qatar at all means.
-Etihad Airways said it would suspend all flights to and from Doha from 02:45 local time on Tuesday
-Bahrain’s state news agency said the country was cutting ties with Qatar because Doha was “shaking the security and stability of Bahrain and meddling in its affairs”
