The minister said that Qatar should respond to demands to halt its support for “extremism and terrorism” which were being made by the world “and not just Gulf states’’.
Four Arab states, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain and Egypt severed diplomatic relations with Qatar on June 5, accusing it of supporting Islamist militants and Iran.
Doha has denied the charges.
The UAE has also decided to blacklist Qatari individuals and entities.
Speaking to journalists in London, Jubeir said: “I would not call them demands. I would say it is a list of grievances that need to be addressed and that the Qataris need to fix.
“We are working on those with our Bahraini, Emirati and Egyptian partners in order to compile this list and present it to the Qataris, and I think it will be done fairly soon.” (Reuters/NAN)
