Saudi Arabia, Egypt, United Arab Emirates and Bahrain declared that they will be imposing new sanctions on Qatar as the 13-point list of demands they gave them was not accepted.

Qatar had refused to comply with the 13-point list given by the Gulf states.

Then the Arab countries issued a joint statement and stated that with the decision not to comply, the Qatari administration sabotaged the efforts to resolve the issue through diplomatic means. The statement said: “Qatar has accepted that they will continue with the policies that aim to destabilize the region.”

Arab countries didn’t specify when the new sanctions will go into effect.
