Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Qatar have used their oil and gas revenues to influence events in other Middle Eastern countries and any resolution of their differences could alter the political environment in Libya, Egypt, Syria, Iraq and Yemen.
The UAE and Saudi Arabia have both listed the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization and see political Islam as a challenge to their own systems of dynastic rule. Kuwait has attempted to mediate between its fellow GCC members.
Qatar is seen to have been supportive of the Brotherhood in Egypt and the UAE, and more recently in Libya. It has given sanctuary to some Brotherhood members and extended citizenship to Sheikh Youssef al-Qaradawi, a cleric with ties to the group.
Riyadh and the United Arab Emirates also see the Doha-based Al Jazeera news channel as being a Muslim Brotherhood mouthpiece -- something Qatar denies.
Diplomats in Doha said that amongst other things, Qatar had promised the UAE that the Brotherhood would not be allowed to operate from the country. There was no immediate confirmation of this.
Qatar holds the revolving presidency of the GCC and the country's Emir on Tuesday publicly invited his fellow GCC rulers to Doha for the group's annual summit. But diplomats had said some of them wanted to move the meeting elsewhere to protest at what they saw as continued Qatari support for Islamists.

They won't ask me and never have.
I fought in Desert Storm when they set up Saddam for getting too expansionistic.
OLIGARCHS are running things not governments now.
Unless YOU are going enact martial law to remove them THAT is way of the world. Both US AND UK.
I don't like the rampant killing and want it stopped yesterday but it may ALL be one big PSYOP for that given purpose.
DAMN my paranoid "GUT" I don't know ,it sure feels like a great many of the gun incidents in the US and terrorism abroad seems to consolidate a control effort that has already gone too far.
A yes or no answer isn't easily found here.
