(Worthy News) – The Trump administration is hoping to capitalize on agreements to be signed this week between Israel, the United Arab Emirates, and Bahrain by pressing for an end to a dispute that has roiled relations between the Gulf Arab countries.

U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Monday that the U.S. is hopeful that Saudi Arabia and its regional allies will end a more than three-year blockade on neighboring Qatar that has persisted despite repeated U.S. calls for a resolution. Pompeo said it was particularly important to build on Arab-Israeli rapprochement to better confront increasing malign behavior from Iran.

“To keep our focus on this work and to close the door to increased Iranian meddling, it’s past time to find a solution to the Gulf rift,” Pompeo said. “The Trump administration is eager to see this dispute resolved and to open Qatar’s air and land borders currently blocked by other Gulf states. I look forward to progress on this issue.” [ Source: Ynet News (Read More…) ]
