a coalition of numerous arab states including saudi arabia, egypt, bahrain, and the UAE announced the cessation of relations and contact between them and the nation of qatar, a small and prosperous neighbor.
this measure includes:
- the expulsion of qatari diplomats and closure of mutual embassies
- the cessation of air traffic to and from qatar
- an anti-qatar travel ban
- a total lockdown on sea and land trade or transport through, to, etc. qatar
reasons for this action happening are the US president's recent visit coupled with suspicion of qatar funding hamas and hezbollah (terrorist organizations)... which is nothing short of the pot calling the kettle black, considering the coalition leader (saudi arabia) is known to fund groups like al-qaeda and some sects of CIA.
this could potentially be the flashpoint of another gulf war, if a foreign power so decides to aid qatar.

president Annoying Orange announced today that he supports saudi arabia's accusation that qatar is a threat to stability in the region for its funding of terrorism (loving ironic, I know).
pakistan has announced its support for qatar, sending soldiers into the country. turkey has doubled its resolve in saying that qatar has never been known to fund terrorist organizations. dialogue with putin is still underway.
