TextPublication details: European Parliamentary Research Service June 2017Description: 2 p. Recurso onlineSubject(s): Online resources: Summary: On 5 June 2017, several Arab nations, including Bahrain, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates
(UAE), simultaneously announced that they were severing ties with Qatar, a fellow member of the Gulf
Cooperation Council (GCC). Accusing Qatar of supporting and financing 'terrorism and extremism' in the
region, the above countries announced that they would halt all land, air and sea traffic with Qatar, expel its
diplomats and ask Qatari citizens to leave their territory within 14 days. Oil prices rose initially as markets
