U.A.E. Minister Says He Expects Rift With Qatar to Continue - Bloomberg:

A diplomatic rift between Qatar and several Gulf states that’s lasted a year and a half is likely to continue in the new year, said Anwar Gargash, the United Arab Emirate’s minister of state for foreign affairs.

"In my estimation, the boycott of Qatar will continue in 2019 because it’s linked to necessary changes in Doha’s destructive tendencies," Gargash said in a Twitter post. "Qatar will continue to fail to combat the action taken against them, despite its excessive cost."

He added that he expects to see "breakthroughs in the crisis" in Yemen, where the U.A.E. is participating in a Saudi-led coalition that’s waging war against the country’s Houthi rebels.
