The Qatar Foreign Minister suggested on Tuesday that measures taken by Saudi Arabia and three other Arab states – the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, and Bahrain – in their dispute with Qatar has hurt the US-led fight against ISIS. He said the closure of land border and prohibition of flights operated by Qatari aircraft has halted the fight against ISIS in Iraq and Syria. 90 percent of Qatar’s food and medicine supply is coming across its land border.
