Bitter feud between Qatar and Saudi-led alliance drags into fourth year with no end in sight

A handout picture provided by the AlSarh holding group in Doha on May 14,2020, shows Qatar's strategic food reserves, expanded after the Saudi-led economic boycott of its tiny neighbor launched in June 2017,

Later that month, the Saudi-led coalition issues 13 sweeping demands including the closure of Doha-based Al-Jazeera news network and the shuttering of a Turkish military base in return for lifting their boycott.Qatar rejects the demands, calling them "unrealistic" and "not actionable". Qatar-based sporting broadcaster BeIN accuses Saudi of pirating its production. BeIN's efforts to sanction Saudi Arabia are the subject of an ongoing legal dispute.

Trump strikes a more conciliatory tone when Qatar's ruler, Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani, visits Washington in April 2019, calling him "a friend". As the tournament gets underway, Qatar's foreign minister says there has been "some progress" in talks with Saudi Arabia.But in December 2019, Qatar's emir declines an invitation by Saudi Arabia to attend a Gulf Cooperation Council summit in Riyadh, sending then-prime minister Abdullah bin Nasser bin Khalifa Al-Thani instead.
