Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry received on Tuesday an invitation from his Saudi counterpart Adel Al-Jubeir for the foreign ministers of the four Arab countries boycotting Qatar to meet with US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson in Jeddah, according to a press statement. The meeting follows US and Kuwaiti mediation to solve the recent disputes between Arab states and Qatar as Tillerson met on Tuesday with Qatari officials in Kuwait. American broadcaster CNN International published on Monday alleged leaked documents of the 2013 Riyadh Agreement and the 2014 Riyadh Supplementary Agreement, signed by the leaders of Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait, and Qatar. Although the Riyadh Agreement documents were not released before, several articles of both the documents and the 13 demands are similar. The news network has been accused of “promoting terrorism, disseminating false news, and distorting the image of Arab states,” among other accusations made by Arab states over the years.
