Qatar vs Saudi Arabia, UAE, Egypt et al

[Von Due]

Saudi Arabia, Egypt, UAE, Bahrain, Yemen, the Maldives have cut ties with Qatar over allegations of supporting terrorist groups in the region as well as being a destabiliser. One thing that strikes me is:
Iranian news are low voiced over the terrorist bit but more than suggests it's all a Saudi plot to gain control. No big surprise there.
Egyptian news are on about the Muslim Brotherhood which is declared a terrorist organisation in Egypt.
Jerusalem Post are on about Hamas.
Saudi news are on about ISIS and Al Qaeda as well as Qatar's Iranian ties. As surprising as Iran's hints of Saudi plots.
They all point to "homely" groups if pointing at all.

Another issue that is more concerning is, if this escalates, it will affect negatively the threat level across not only the region but across Europe and the US as well.

Escalation is absolutely not something anyone need.

The on going proxy war between Iran and Saudi Arabia that's taking place in Yemen is going to escalate into a full scale conflict sooner rather than later.
Iran and Saudi Arabia, are already fighting a war in six key areas, the military, diplomatic, economic, religious, terrorism and the propaganda fronts, just how the hell are they going to keep a lid on that mess, one false step and all hell will break loose, its just what that region needs right now.

I sure hope the western countries aren't drawn in but that is probably already too late.

It would largely depend on how much the US and SA want to hold hands. So far the US has expressed the necessity of keeping Qatar in the team in the Yemen crisis in particular, while SA wants Qatar out of the team. Right now there is little other than allegations from all sides with little hard evidence out to and through the media, other than old known facts about Iran and SA's roles in terrorism and the feud between the two. If the US chooses side which almost certainly would be pro SA and pro-while-pinching-their-noses Egypt, then Europe is likely to follow.

One of the global main financiers of Muslim terrorism. A real major player in this field.

All the weapons sales, all the oil price rises, all money being moved from islamist pockets into Russian ones.

I find it funny that Saudi Arabia accuses another country of financing terrorism...
