Cairo (dpa), 23.06.2017 -Kuwait has handed Qatar a list of demands by the four Arab countries that cut diplomatic and economic ties with Doha earlier this month.
The Qatari-owned Al Jazeera network reported Friday that the list has not been sanctioned by either Qatar or Kuwait.
On June 5, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Egypt severed diplomatic ties and transportation with Qatar, accusing it of supporting terrorism. Doha has repeatedly denied the accusations.
The four countries have not made their demands public yet.
Later in June, several African countries cut relations with Qatar and others downgraded ties.
Kuwait has been trying to mediate between the two sides. On Wednesday, US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson urged the Arab countries involved in a diplomatic spat with Qatar to present their demands.
“Our role has been to encourage the parties to get their issues on the table, clearly articulated, so that those issues can be addressed and some resolution process can get underway to bring this to a conclusion,” he said.
“Our desire is for unity within the Gulf,” he added.
