On Monday, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, and Bahrain all announced that they were severing diplomatic relations with Qatar, along with banning all air, water, and, in the case of Saudi Arabia, land travel either through or over the small nation. Libya, Yemen, the Maldives, Mauritius, and Mauritania all followed. Other nations have similarly become cautious about the situation in the Gulf state. For example, the Philippines have imposed a temporary partial workers ban. In contrast, Turkey has backed Qatar, with troops sent to put boots on the peninsula.
