The Under-Secretary-General of the United Nations for Political Affairs, Rosemary DiCarlo, praised what some Gulf states had done during the Corona pandemic, but she warned that the crisis had not succeeded in resolving disputes, and that any wrong accounts might have repercussions.
During a dialogue held by the Atlantic Council, DiCarlo said that Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait and the Sultanate of Oman provided medical equipment and humanitarian relief to Iran.
DiCarlo added that Qatar has facilitated the transfer of GCC nationals to their countries.
And DiCarlo added that the pandemic did not constitute an "olive branch" to end the differences and divisions between the Gulf states.
The Under-Secretary-General of the United Nations indicated that any wrong accounts in the Gulf region may have repercussions for the mechanisms followed there.
Kuwaiti analyst Hussein Jamal said that the Gulf crisis still exists despite all Kuwait's mediation efforts, and that the solution lies in the sitting of all parties at the negotiating table to resolve the dispute.
In a call to Al Jazeera, Jamal added that the Gulf is currently facing an economic crisis due to the Corona epidemic, and that if the regional leaders do not rush to resolve the dispute and join efforts, he will face a bigger crisis.
He believed that the Gulf countries have become before two options: dialogue to resolve the crisis, or dismantle the system of the Cooperation Council and the search for forming other blocs, which will not be in the interest of any country, according to his opinion.
Regarding relations with Iran, the Kuwaiti researcher said that the UAE recently opened a wide field in front of its relations with Iran, as the relationship between Bahrain and Iran has also developed, considering that Iran will remain part of the region, and there must be relations based on common interests between the two banks of the Gulf.
