Saudi Arabia boycotted Qatar due to violations that span over 20 years

The decision to sever diplomatic and consular relations with Qatar stemmed from Saudi Arabia's sovereign right to protect its national security- guaranteed by international law- from the dangers of terrorism and extremism, Saudi Arabia’s state news agency reported on Saturday.

The Saudi Press Agency stated that the Kingdom has taken the decision to boycott Qatar “as a result of the serious secret and public violations by the authorities in Doha since 1995,” adding that Qatar hosts and promotes terrorist groups like Daesh, the Muslim Brotherhood and al-Qaeda.
