saudi arabia: But Qatari officials didn't budge from their previous insistence that they won't sit down with Saudi Arabia and other Arab nations to negotiate an end to the crisis while under siege, according to The Japan Times. I can assure you that our situation today is very comfortable, Qatari Ambassador to the U.S. Meshal bin Hamad Al Thani said. Given 10 days to make a decision, Qatar did not immediately render judgment on the specific concessions demanded of the tiny Persian Gulf nation, which include shuttering Al-Jazeera and cutting ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. Qatar could continue forever like that with no problems. As the United States stepped back from any central mediating role, all sides seemed to be settling in for a potentially protracted crisis. Asked whether Qatar felt pressure to resolve the crisis quickly, he said Not at all.
