Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates are expected to relay to mediators what they want Qatar to do in return for ending their isolation of the tiny Gulf nation, according to a Gulf official with direct knowledge of the matter.
The proposals, which may come in the next two days, would make it easier to end the dispute, the official said on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter. While the two sides are far apart at the moment, there are positive signs they’re willing to reach a conclusion and want Kuwait to continue to mediate, the official said, adding that Turkey was also helping.
