The Saudi regime issued a number of requests from the Qatari monarchs in order to end the month long feud that has led to Doha being isolated from many of its ex-allies in the Arab world.

According to the Associated Press, the Saudi regime demanded Qatar to close the Al-Jazeera News Agency, cut ties with Iran, and shut down the Turkish military base inside the country within the upcoming ten days.

“In a 13-point list — presented to the Qataris by Kuwait, which is helping mediate the conflict — the countries also demand that Qatar sever all ties with the Muslim Brotherhood and with other groups including Hezbollah, al-Qaida and Daesh group. The Associated Press obtained a copy of the list in Arabic from one of the countries involved in the dispute,” the AP stated.

The Qatari regime has yet to respond to Riyadh’s demand and will likely reject it.
