Bahrain sees no hope for Gulf crisis


(MENAFN) Bahraini Foreign Minister Sheikh Khalid bin Ahmed Al-Khalifa said his country sees "no resolution in sight" in the Gulf crisis between Qatar and the four boycotting countries, according to an interview with London-based Arabic international newspaper Alsharq Alawsat.

"The information in our hands today does not indicate any glimmer of hope for a solution now, as the matter does not happen suddenly," he said.

He also accused Qatar of prolonging the dispute by taking its case to Western allies rather than the Persian Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC).

"We were expecting from the beginning of the crisis with Qatar that the emir of Qatar would go to Saudi [Arabia] but this did not happen," the top Bahraini diplomat added.
