Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Egypt have been boycotting Qatar since June 5.
They have sealed their land border with Qatar and restricted their airspace and shipping. They have also asked Qatari citizens to leave their country.
The Saudi Arabia ministry recently withdrew Al Jazeera's license and accused it of promoting "terrorist groups" and supporting rebels in Yemen.
Many countries have ended diplomatic ties with Qatar due to its alleged support of rebels.
