Can Washington Push for a Dialogue on the Gulf Crisis? – Inside Story

There's a week to go for Qatar to meet a list of 13 demands imposed on it by Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain and Egypt. It includes shutting down the Al Jazeera network and aligning Qatar's foreign policy with that of the GCC among many other demands. Qatar has rejected the list, saying it violates its sovereignty. Meanwhile, the US is calling on all sides to sit down and talk.
