The aftermath of the Al-Ula summit in early 2021, signaling the end of the Gulf dispute with Qatar, did not bring about the expected reconciliation between Bahrain and Qatar.

Qatar's foreign ministry spokesman confirmed that Secretary General of the Cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Gulf will meet with the Bahraini delegation in Riyadh to complete the work of the "Qatari-Bahraini Follow-up Committee", in implementation of what was stated in the "Al-Ula Summit" statement.

Are Bahrain and Qatar really on the path to achieve reconciliation? Why are there no positive initiatives to resolve the crisis? Does the seizure of Qataris properties in Bahrain serve this path?

The Bahraini authorities have begun fencing a huge plot of land located next to Al-Seef Bridge investment area, which belongs to three sons of Khalid bin Nasser Abdullah Al-Misnad, brother of Mozah Al-Misnad, mother of Qatari Emir Tamim.

The meeting that took place on Tuesday (February 7, 2023) between the Qatari and Bahraini Foreign Ministers was not a success for Manama's diplomacy in any way, but it rather can be described as humiliating in form and essence.

The King of Bahrain, Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, called for working toward resolving the outstanding issues with the State of Qatar, stressing the importance of adhering to the statement of the Saudi Al-Ula Summit.

Bahrain's Foreign Minister Abdullatif Al-Zayani said that Bahrain has called on Qatar several times to hold bilateral talks to resolve the outstanding issues, however, Qatar has not responded to Bahrain's calls so far to implement the statement issued in Al-Ula summit.

On June 29, 2008, Bahrain's cabinet approved a loan agreement between the Government of Bahrain and Doha.

King of Saudi Arabia, Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, sent written letters to leaders of Qatar, Sultanate of Oman, Bahrain and Kuwait ahead of a Gulf summit in Saudi Arabia

The German Press Agency (DPA) said that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman will embark on a tour of Gulf states, including the Sultanate of Oman, Bahrain, Qatar, the Emirates and Kuwait.

Saudi Arabia and Egypt have begun tackling thorny issues with Qatar to rebuild ties, easing an inter-Arab feud seen by the United States as benefiting only mutual enemy Iran, but two Gulf states have been slow to follow suit as promised, diplomats say.

A delegate from the Bahraini foreign ministry visited Doha in the first visit of its kind since the Gulf crisis to call on Qatar to start bilateral talks about the mechanism of implementing the reconciliation.

Despite the ferocity the Bahraini regime shows at home, it is confirmed day in and day out that it has no substantial value at the regional and global level.

Leaders of the Gulf Cooperation Council states signed the final communique of the 41st Gulf Summit, hosted by the Saudi Al-Ula country on Tuesday (January 5, 2021).
