Qatar blockade over as UAE, Saudi, Bahrain and Egypt agree to restore ties

The United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Egypt have now agreed to fully restore ties with neighbouring Qatar.

The four countries signed an accord with Qatar during the 41st summit of Gulf Cooperation Council leaders, bringing the regional split to an end. The states were able to find a “resolution to all areas of difference,” and agreed to a “restoration of all diplomatic ties,” Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan told reporters. “It will be a strong and important foundation to the future of the region and its stability.”

The reconciliation takes on greater significance given the impending changing of the guard in Washington. While President Donald Trump led an offensive to weaken Iran through sanctions, Biden has pledged to engage diplomatically with the Islamic Republic if it first returns to the terms of the 2015 nuclear deal.

The end of the rift between Qatar and the four countries will lift a number of industries and enhance jobs prospects in the region, according to local recruitment firms.
