Whoa.
Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, Libya, Yemen and the Maldives have cut diplomatic ties with Qatar.
This move bans citizens from Saudi, Egypt, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, Libya and Yemen from travelling to Qatar, living there or traveling through it. People affected have 14 days to leave.
All the Middle Eastern airlines are cancelling routes and closing their airspace to Qatar.

Qatar right now
Re: Qatar right now
Yes, actually!
There are 180,000 Egyptians working here in very important white collar jobs.
Many Saudi's travel here for holidays.
Plus many of my students parents are Qataris married to people from Saudi, Bahrain and the UAE.
So thanks Trump your Tweets are messing up the world!

Re: Qatar right now
Little girls are being blown up at pop concerts and you direct your anger at Trump's tweets...

Re: Qatar right now
For an international perspective:

....... it’s worrisome to see Trump applying his transactionalist approach so breezily. Without partnerships, U.S. counterterrorism policy suffers. Without partners, U.S. foreign policy flounders.
For a personal perspective, many teachers spent thousands of extra dollars changing flights to get home for summer. And many people are worried about the future of Qatar.

Re: Qatar right now
This is tweets that happened after the fact. You conveyed in your first response that tweets prior to this incident caused this.

Is anyone going to offer any substantial perspective on the OP's question?
