Bahrain’s foreign minister on Sunday called for Qatar's membership in the Gulf Cooperation Council to be frozen.
The foreign minister, Khalid bin Ahmed Al Khalifa, said on Twitter that “if Qatar thinks that its current playing with time and evading will buy it time till the upcoming GCC summit, then it’s mistaken. If the situation remained as it is we won’t attend this summit.”
He added, “The right step to preserve GCC is to freeze Qatar’s membership in the council... otherwise we are fine with its outing from the council.”
