On Monday, the internet exploded with the news of Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain and Egypt cutting ties with Qatar.<\/p>\n

The news made global headlines with additional news being announced throughout the week of diplomatic ties being severed.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Here’s the story so far.<\/p>\n

Why it started<\/h3>\n

The decision was attributed to a few things \u2013 Bahrain accused Qatar of meddling in its international affairs, Qatar\u2019s relationship with Iran \u2013 which is disruptive to peace in the region and its funding of the Muslim Brotherhood.<\/p>\n

Tensions have been high between Gulf states with Qatar, since last week when Qatar\u2019s national news agency reported<\/a> quotes from Qatar\u2019s Emir praising Iran. Qatari news sites were consequently blocked in the UAE.<\/p>\n

Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain and Egypt closed off air, land and sea space to Qatar.<\/a><\/p>\n

The UAE and Saudi have released statements however, that Qatari nationals married to UAE or Saudi nationals will be given entry<\/a> to their countries on humanitarian grounds.\u00a0<\/p>\n
