Well-informed sources revealed that the Arab quartet-Qatar crisis will witness a breakthrough within a few days, owing to intensive efforts exerted by the United States and Kuwait recently to resolve the political boycott that erupted in June 2017, according to Egyptian columnist Youssef Ayoub. 

Egypt Today reported.

“Sources disclosed that U.S. Special Envoy on the Qatar dispute Anthony Zinni will pay a tour to some Arab countries to offer various proposals to solve the crisis,” Ayoub added in his report on March 5, 2018. 

Zinni arrived in Cairo on Monday to meet with Egyptian Foreign Affairs Minister Sameh Shoukry. Moreover, Kuwaiti Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Sheikh Sabah Al-Khaled Al-Hamad Al-Sabah will arrive in Cairo on Tuesday to take part in the Arab foreign ministers’ meeting. 

Al-Sabah is expected to convey a message from Kuwaiti Emir Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah to President Abdel Fatah al-Sisi about the Qatari crisis. “This message will be handed over to Shoukry,” Ayoub added. 

An Arab diplomat affirmed to Ayoub that the U.S. administration has done its best to secure a unified Arab front against Iran in the region. “The U.S. believes that the intra-Arab crisis works in favor of Iran and hinders the formation of any international alliance against Iran,” he stated 

In May, U.S. President Donald Trump is expected to host an American-Gulf summit at Camp David following the end of the dispute between the four Arab countries (Egypt, Saudi Arabia, UAE and Bahrain) on one hand and Qatar on the other, Ayoub stressed.
