Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates have signalled they may allow some Qataris to stay in their countries amid a diplomatic rift with the Gulf nation.nQatar, meanwhile, pledged those nations’ citizens will have “complete freedom” to stay in the energy-rich country.
The three Gulf nations cut ties to Qatar on June 5 over its alleged support of militants and ties to Iran and ordered all Qataris out within 14 days, while calling their own citizens back. That has created chaos across the Sunni Gulf nations, whose citizens regularly intermarry and conduct business across countries sharing long historic and cultural bonds.
Early on Sunday, the three countries all issued statements urging mixed nationality families to call their respective interior ministries, which would take into consideration the “humanitarian circumstances” of their situation.
For its part, Qatar issued an overnight statement saying residents living in the country from those nations that severed ties would have “complete freedom” to stay despite the “hostile and tendentious campaigns” now targeting it.
