WASHINGTON – The United States has called on the four Arab nations that imposed 13 points demands on Qatar to consider entering into dialogue with it.




The 4 Arab nations, Bahrain, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and UAE has presented the 13 points demands which includes closure of Aljazeera television in Doha, Qatar and severance of ties with terrorists organisations.

But in a statement, Secretary of State, Rex W. Tillerson Qatar has begun its careful review and consideration of a series of requests presented by Bahrain, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and UAE.

He pointed out that some of the demands will be difficult to accomplish and called on the Arab nations to enter into dialogue with Qatar.

“While some of the elements will be very difficult for Qatar to meet, there are significant areas which provide a basis for ongoing dialogue leading to resolution”, he said, adding that a productive next step would be for each of the countries to sit together and continue this conversation.

“We believe our allies and partners are stronger when they are working together towards one goal which we all agree is stopping terrorism and countering extremism. Each country involved has something to contribute to that effort.

” A lowering of rhetoric would also help ease the tension. The United States will continue to stay in close contact with all parties and will continue to support the mediation efforts of the Emir of Kuwait”, he said.
