A joint GCC statement doesn't necessarily mean Qatar is ready to abandon its independent foreign policy
A joint statement by the Gulf Cooperation Council calling for an extension of an arms embargo on Iran, has rekindled speculation about a possible rapprochement between Qatar and its estranged Arab neighbours.
An arms embargo on Iran is set to expire on October 18 under a 2015 nuclear deal, which Iran signed with the United States and other world powers. "It is inappropriate to lift restrictions on the supply of weapons from and to Iran until Iran gives up its destabilising activities in the region and stops supplying terrorist and sectarian organisations with weapons," said aWhile for some analysts, the “” GCC response came as big news, it was apparent that Qatar’s Al Jazeera English service did not report the story. A source close to the outlet said the newsroom likely saw it as a “minor GCC development”.
The blockading nations include Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and the non-GCC Egypt. Over the years, Qatar has tried to strike a balance between the interests of fellow GCC members and its own foriegn policy. Its policies are particularly mismatched with Saudi Arabia's. Qatar has also pursued its own foriegn interests with Iran with which it shares a vast gas field. Doha’s economic miracle depends on the export of liquified natural gas .
