Two years since Qatar was blockaded by four Arab nations, yet still no end in sight.
A lot can happen in 730 days except, it seems, in the Gulf crisis.
Arguably, the standoff between Qatar, and the group of four Arab nations which blockaded it, is still where it was two years ago.
Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain, and Egypt, cut their diplomatic and economic ties with Qatar, closed the only land border, and imposed an air and sea blockade on June 5th 2017.
Kuwait stepped in to mediate, but even as recently as last week, Saudi Arabia's Foreign Minister was saying Qatar must come back to the right path, if there's to be a solution.
So, is this the 'new normal' in the Gulf?
