Can diplomacy solve the crisis in the Gulf?



Qatar says diplomatic talks can resolve the Gulf crisis but there is no foundation for dialogue yet



It has been a week since one of the worst diplomatic disputes in the Gulf regionbegan and there have been developments almost every hour.
Qatar's Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani was on a diplomatic tour in London and Paris on Monday.
US President Donald Trump initially took to Twitter to support the embargo, but then called the Emir of Qatar days later offering to mediate, only to criticise the Gulf nation at a news conference on Friday.
But that same day, US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson was urging the Gulf Cooperation Council countries to find a diplomatic solution.
