Saudi Arabia, Egypt, United Arab Emirates and Bahrain have slipped by 48 hours the deadline set because Qatar accepts the 13 requests made by the Gulf states, including the closure of Al Jazira. The initial deadline had been fixed to yesterday. Qatar, which rejects the alleged accusations, including that of terrorist financing, said that it would send a formal response to Kuwait with its reply. But on Saturday in Rome the foreign Minister of Doha Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim al-Thani had foretold the No to the demands of the Gulf states.
