Foreign ministers meet but no solution in sight to Gulf crisis

Foreign ministers of the Saudi-led bloc met in Cairo Wednesday to discuss their next steps in isolating Qatar, but the long meeting didn't unravel any new measures against the country. For now, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Egypt and the United Arab Emirates will continue their current sanctions against Doha including cutting land, sea and air transportation and severing diplomatic ties.

Egyptian foreign minister Sameh Shoukry said they have passed the stage of only accusing Qatar of funding and supporting terrorism, and that now they have evidence to back their claims.

The foreign ministers of the four Arab countries leading this diplomatic row against Qatar said they will continue coordination to isolate the country for its alleged support of terrorism.

The next meeting for the bloc will be in Bahrain's Capital Manama, with the date and time yet to be announced.
