Saudi-led bloc agree to extend Qatar’s deadline by 48 hours

According to a joint statement on Saudi state news agency SPA, Saudi Arabia-led Arab bloc boycotting Qatar have agreed to a request by Kuwait (mediator) to extend by 48 hours Sunday's deadline for Doha to comply to a set of demands, courtesy Al-Jazeera.

Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Bahrain and Egypt cut trade and travel ties with Qatar and imposed sanctions on it on June 5, accusing it of supporting "terrorism". 

The four Arab countries had given Doha a 10-day ultimatum, which expired on Sunday night, to comply with a 13-point demand list in exchange for the end of the anti-Qatar measures.
