El Sisi refuses to budge on Qatar demands: President Abdel Fattah El Sisi restated his demand for Qatar to meet 13 conditions put forward by the Arab Quartet back in 2017 before reinstating diplomatic ties, according to the National. “There are ongoing efforts that we hope will succeed. Doha’s position has not changed and there are 13 conditions that have not been met,” he said at the World Youth Forum yesterday. Talks between the island state and Saudi Arabia produced somewhat of a breakthrough earlier this week when the two sides agreed to resume dialogue.
