By the way, no sign that Bahrain, Egypt, UAE and Saudi Arabia are willing to put their money where their mouth is. Cutting off Qatar itself doesn't cost them much (ignoring those who sold food to Qatar, presumably now out of business or smuggling), but if they follow the principle they should surely boycott Qatar's assets abroad. Shouldn't Gulf Air, Egyptair, Emirates, Saudia, etc., stop flying to London Heathrow (20% owned by Qatar government)?
