President Trump appears to have been instrumental in pulling off yet another miracle in the Middle East with the announcement that Saudi Arabia would be reopening its airspace and land and sea border with Qatar.
The announcement--which comes on the eve of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) summit on 5 January--is the catalyst that will see the resolution of a political dispute that led Saudi Arabia and its allies – Bahrain, United Arab Emirates and Egypt--to impose a diplomatic, trade and travel boycott on Qatar in June 2017.
