Saudi efforts to isolate Qatar were reportedly set to end on Monday, with Kuwaiti Foreign Minister Amhad Nasser Al Sabah announcing that Riyadh would be opening “the airspace and land and sea borders” between Saudi Arabia and Qatar “starting from this evening.”

The minister also said that the Kuwaiti emir spoke with his counterpart in Qatar and the Saudi crown prince. The talks between Kuwaiti Emir Sheikh Nawaf Al Ahmad Al Sabah, Qatar’s Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman showed that “everyone was keen on reunification.”

The three leaders are to meet and sign a statement to “usher in a bright page of brotherly relations.” 

The announcement comes ahead of a Gulf leaders’ summit in the desert city of Al-Ula on Tuesday.
