projects and qatar did not do any harsh mander. any harsh measures as far as its people and people who are living in qatar let's bring in paul more cause here in beirut paul you heard what our guest in doha to say a lot of the problems that this on solvable by an international dispute resolution mechanism because our guest in doha suggested that actually these countries are using the blockade to distract from the problems at home would you agree with that . look you see the international edition systems are not necessarily leading to direct results but that does not mean that those systems are not forcible by results i mean if you get let's say it only this is that if for all states to respect even those states. 'd that loose usually in the court and more specifically at the i.c.j. they recognize the ruling and they respect it but they find ways how to escape or to all 'd over you know to counter those rulings or to say let's say the lesser price in this case that does not mean that the international sentences are not now proven to

up on qatar. pull more course in beirut to guess and have suggested that actually this is the international community letting down all of the countries involved in this dispute by not being able to for enough pressure on them to be able to come up with a resolution but is this more a fact of international law or just takes time and these things do take time. yes indeed in such disputes it takes years and it's much bigger and higher 'd if it comes to an international. court court now before the i c g a i think it took. a long time but the relatively it's not long if we compare this to other international courts and to our other international cases if you take for example the cases in the penalty scene you can see is it that how do you assess the nation to 15 years out of the 15 years you had like around 10 years before the special tribunal for lebanon so if you go back to the of the dispute history also you think that this takes time although this is a unique case and it would be taken as a precede

among the countries blockading qatar it is the u.a.e. that is most rigid in its position against doa whereas the saudis have viewed the alleged qatari threat as more of a strategic issue for i would be this is really very much about ideology and ultimately this agenda of blockading qatar came from up with dobby and i think out of all of the gulf countries putting pressure on cuts are the u.a.e. will be the last one to decide to ease that pressure so it definitely makes sense that. would use its leverage over riyadh to block any u.s. backed plan aimed at bringing the g.c.c. countries back together the trump administration is seen this arabian feud is a big threat to u.s. interests in the sense that washington would like to have all of the g.c.c. member states united against the islamic republic of iran and this issue has definitely been an irritant for the administration but you know i the defacto ruler of the u.a.e. crown prince mohammed bin zayed whatever people 'd may think about his policies we can all agree that he's no pushover and

argument a country supporting general haftar and there you've heard from turkey and its close ally qatar the other side of the argument and they clearly have a trump card which is that the u.n. security council has in the past said the jna the side they support is the internationally recognized government now there is some dispute that even though that is the case that doesn't allow you to breach an arms embargo in the case of turkey bring in fighters from syria and bring in weapons but it certainly does add some legitimacy to the turkish argument the other thing that i think turkey and qatar supporting turkey have on their side is the leader of the group that they are backing in libya prime minister is someone that people in the international community are able to deal with he is a bureaucrat by background and he can speak the language of foreign officials and gets on with foreign officials compare that with general haftar and i've spoken to quite a few people who have met or spoken to general have to they say quite literally here is a megalomaniac he is a dictator but coupled with that

months somehow if there were secret negotiations between saudi arabia officials from saudi arabia qatar the u.s. acting as a mediator now that 5 would be surprising if true because these are that's a lot of different people at the table and there's been no even whisper that there were negotiations of any kind taking place much less among high ranking officials from these 4 countries the article says that a potential deal was in their words quote at hand and that the u.a.e. walked away and tried to pressure saudi arabia to do the same thing again they're saying that just for purpose perspective this is not anything we've even heard is on the radar lately from the secretary of defense secretary of state the white much less the white house dealing with a coronavirus pandemic a downturn in the economy falling poll numbers and now the supreme court decision so there's been no indication no signals that this is high up on 0 the priority list. don't you can hit 0 is c.e.o. of gulf states analytics a geopolitical risk consulting firm focusing on the arabian peninsula he says the u.a.e. is less

crisis there's not a whole lot to be surprised about you know among the countries blockading qatar it is the u.a.e. that is most rigid in its position against joe r. where as the saudis have viewed the alleged qatari threat as more of a strategic issue for me this is really very much about ideology and ultimately this agenda of blockading qatar came from abu dhabi and i think out of all of the gulf countries putting pressure on cuts are the u.a.e. will be the last one to decide soon ease that pressure so it definitely makes sense that. would use its leverage over riyadh to block any u.s. backed plan of aimed at bringing the g.c.c. countries back together is the potential as well within this dynamic full another source of leverage and could it be that the trumpet ministration might pompei of course the secretary of state wants a united front in his eyes a united front across the region potentially squaring off against and therefore isolating iran. well yes ever since a pretty early stage in the g.c.c. crisis the trumpet ministration is seeing this arabian feud is a big threat to u.s. i
