Saudi cabinet expresses satisfaction over Qatar-related decisions

RIYADH: Saudi King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud on Tuesday met with the Saudi cabinet to discuss the country's stance on the Gulf crisis, Saudi media reported.
The Saudi cabinet expressed satisfaction on Qatar-related decisions.
Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, and Bahrain led a string of countries that last week cut ties with Qatar over what they say is the emirate´s financing of extremist groups and its ties to Iran, Saudi Arabia´s regional arch-rival.
On Thursday the four countries issued a list of individuals and entities they said had "terrorist" links to Qatar, in their first joint statement since severing ties with Doha.
The group said the list shows Qatar "announces fighting terrorism on one hand and finances and supports and hosts different terrorist organisations on the other hand."
But the document contains at least two names already designated internationally as terrorist financiers, and against whom Qatar took action, according to a previous US Department of State report.
Qatar strongly denied the earlier allegations and expressed a willingness to engage in talks to resolve the crisis.
The Saudi cabinet's meeting included discussions on the visits of international leaders including Kuwaiti Emir Jaber Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah, King of Bahrain Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, and Pakistan's Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's visits to the Kingdom.

The discussion also included telephonic conversations between US President Donald Trump, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdo?an, and French President Emmanuel Macron.
