In June 2017, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and other countries announced that Qatar would sever diplomatic relations with Qatar and impose sanctions and blockades on Qatar, including the closure of its airspace, on the grounds of “supporting terrorism” and “damaging regional security”.

On January 5 this year, the six GCC countries, including Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, and Egypt signed the Euler Declaration, marking the end of the Qatar severance of diplomatic relations crisis.
