Kuwaiti sources reported that a solution to the crisis between three Gulf countries on one side and Qatar on the other will soon be reached.
Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates withdrew their ambassadors to Doha over Qatar's support to the Muslim Brotherhood and alleged interference in the internal affairs of other Arab countries.
Qatar has signed an agreement to stop supporting the Muslim Brotherhood, and interfering in Egypt and other Gulf countries' affairs and threatening their security, a Gulf source said upon anonymity.
Undersecretary of Kuwait's Foreign Ministry Khaled al-Jarallah said the Gulf dispute which peaked by withdrawing ambassadors of UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Bahrain to Qatar was "on its way to demise." Jarallah stressed that positive indications showed that the crisis was about to be solved.
Jarallah said in a statement reported by the Kuwait News Agency following the meeting of the GCC foreign ministers in Riyadh that the crisis did not affect the GCC and its meetings. Jarallah did not provide further details about the expected settlements.
Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister of Kuwait, Sheikh Subah al-Khalid al-Subah said earlier there was an imminent breakthrough in relations between Gulf countries in dispute.
The Kuwaiti Al-Qabas newspaper quoted a high-level Gulf source as saying the agreement included expelling 15 Gulf nationals who are Muslim Brotherhood members and reside in Qatar. The 15 Brotherhood members include five Emirati nationals, two Saudi, and the rest are from Yemen and Bahrain, the newspaper added.
According to Al-Qabas newspaper, the agreement also stated that Al Jazeera Channel should stop attacking the UAE and Saudi Arabia, stop calling toppling President Mohamed Morsy in Egypt a military coup, stop attacking former Defense Minister and presidential hopedul Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, and to prevent Egyptian opposition figures from appearing in Qatari media.
