Qatar on Wednesday condemned Saudi Arabia's refusal to negotiate the demands of the kingdom and its allies for ending a crippling embargo on the emirate.
The Qatari foreign minister said on Tuesday, while in Washington for talks with US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson that the Saudi position was unacceptable. His Saudi counterpart Adel al-Jubeir, who is also in Washington, said the same day that their demands on Qatar are non-negotiable.
Meanwhile, an Egyptian delegation at UN meeting in New York accused Qatar of financing terrorists in Libya, which poses a threat to the Egyptian national security particularly at the western borders with neighboring Libya.
