The Arab coalition has said it has suspended Qatar’s participation in all efforts to restore legitimacy in Yemen, a source confirmed to Al Arabiya News Channel.

The decision comes as news that Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Egypt announced they have severed all ties with Qatar over its policies.
