The Hamas Movement has congratulated the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) on the progress achieved in the Kuwaiti-sponsored reconciliation efforts that ended the rift between Saudi Arabia and Qatar and led to the reopening of the borders between the two countries.
In a statement on Monday Hamas expressed hope that the GCC would work on ending the crisis completely and restoring its unity and cooperation which it said would contribute to the hoped-for unity of the Arab position.
The Movement called for launching a wider regional dialog to address all the differences between the Arab and Islamic countries hoping that 2021 would be the year of achieving the Palestinian national unity.
Saudi Arabia on Monday reopened its land border with Qatar and Kuwait’s foreign minister also announced that the kingdom’s airspace and sea borders would be reopened ahead of the GCC summit that is set to take place in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday.
Monday’s announcement could pave the way towards resolving a political dispute that led Riyadh and its allies to impose a boycott on Qatar more than three years ago.
