Breakthrough reached

WASHINGTON/RIYADH A breakthrough has been reached in Qatar's threeyear-old dispute with Saudi Arabia and three other Arab countries and an agreement aimed at ending their rift is to be signed in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday, a senior Trump administration official said. The development is the latest in a series of Middle East deals sought by Washington - the others involving Israel and Arab states - aimed at building a united front against Iran. As part of the deal, Saudi Arabia will reopen its airspace and land and sea border to Qatar as of Monday.
