GCC: Omani intervention, EU, Yemen

Oman pushes for resolution: The GCC remains deeply divided over the dispute between the GCC-3 and Egypt and Qatar. As GSN has observed, the crisis is not yet terminal for the GCC, but it is highly divisive. Oman has re-engaged with efforts to resolve the dispute, with minister responsible for foreign affairs Youssef Bin Alawi Bin Abdullah offering an optimistic assessment following talks with his Bahraini counterpart Sheikh Khaled Bin Ahmad Al-Khalifa in Salalah on 4 September.
