Saudi king invites Qatar emir to GCC summit in Mecca in what could be a thaw in relations between the two countries

In this photo released by the state-run Saudi Press Agency, leaders from the six nations of the Gulf Cooperation Council meet in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Sunday, Dec. 9, 2018. Leaders of Gulf Arab countries, including those boycotting Qatar, met on Sunday in Saudi Arabia's capital for a regional summit, a gathering that Qatar's ruling emir choose not to attend amid the dispute.

Saudi Arabia and allies Egypt, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates closed their airspace to Qatar Airways and banned travel to the country over charges that Doha backs extremists and seeks closer ties with Iran.The three Gulf boycott countries are currently participating in a regional football tournament in Qatar, having announced their participation at the last minute.

The emir has been represented by senior officials at GCC summits since the blockade was imposed, despite having received invitations. The Qatari Foreign Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani met with officials in Saudi for talks last month, according to an Arab diplomatic source. An official from the Cairo-based Arab League is visiting Doha for a conference during the tournament, raising hopes for mediation efforts.
