The ongoing Gulf rift is not the first crisis to hit the bloc, but what is the impact going to be this time around?
The Gulf Cooperation Council is in its worst crisis ever after three of its six members cut ties with Qatar.
The Emir of Kuwait was in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday and in the United Arab Emirates on Wednesday.
He is plane-hopping around the Arabian Peninsula, hoping to mediate in what's being called the Qatar Crisis.
Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and the UAE, as well as Egypt, have severed ties with Qatar, closing land and sea borders and airspace.
They say Qatar is supporting "extremist groups" in Iraq and Syria, which Qatar strongly denies.
They have also had disagreements over its alleged ties with the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas.
