The U.S.'s top diplomat was
expected to travel back to Qatar on Thursday for more talks with the
country's 37-year-old emir, a day after wrapping up discussions with
the king of Saudi Arabia and other officials from Arab countries
lined up against Qatar.
U.S. Secretary of State Rex
Tillerson's travels have so far not led to any signs of a
breakthrough in an increasingly entrenched dispute that has divided
some of America's most important Mideast allies. Tillerson's trip
from Kuwait to the western Saudi city of Jiddah followed discussions
on Tuesday with Qatari emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani that
ended with the signing of a counterterrorism pact.
Saudi Arabia, the United Arab
Emirates, Egypt and Bahrain severed relations with Qatar and cut air,
sea and land routes with it over a month ago, accusing Doha of
supporting extremist groups. Qatar denies the allegations.
