Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Egypt agreed to a request by Kuwait to extend by 48 hours Sunday’s deadline for Doha to comply with a set of demands, a joint statement on Saudi state news agency( SPA) said.
Kuwaiti state news agency KUNA said Kuwait’s Emir Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah had asked Saudi Arabia and the three other countries boycotting Qatar to grant it a 48-hour extension.
Kuwait has been acting as a mediator after Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Egypt severed diplomatic and travel ties with Doha, accusing it of supporting terrorism.
By the end of the Sunday, the deadline set by the four countries for Qatar to comply with its list of demands has expired. The deadline was set as a condition for ending the boycott imposed on Doha since the last month.
