Qatar’s response to four Arab states’ demands was “very negative” and “indicates a lack of awareness of how dangerous the situation is,” Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry said Wednesday in Cairo. And the political boycott by the four nations — Bahrain, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia — will continue until Qatar changes its policies, Saudi Foreign Minister Foreign Minister Adel Al-Jubair said. Shoukry and Al-Jubair spoke after they and their counterparts from the UAE and Bahrain met in Cairo to discussQatar’s response to a list of demands to resolve the diplomatic standoff. Meanwhile, Qatar’s foreign minister says his country won’t comply with any demands that it considers in violation of international law. So there are a lot of demands which are against the international law,” Qatari Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani told CNN’s Christiane Amanpour.
