Abstract

The primary motive for this research is the increasing debates and discussions around the GCC crisis that has become the utmost political item for daily news, not only in the Middle East but even in the internal politics of super powers in the world. The main cause of the crisis revolves around alleged accusations of terrorist supporting activities and extremism affiliations of Qatar's authority with specific groups and entities in Qatar and in the region, yet other causes have been replenished to the crisis as it seems to be a confrontation for seizing supremacy and command in the region and settling the Palestinian issue in a proposed American-Israeli political fashion. Nevertheless, to address the issue, a study as well as analysis of the previous timelines of policies, politics, and affairs in the region that took place between Qatar and its neighbours on one side, and with other influencing issues and countries on the other side would eventually lead to a comprehensive answer to the essence of the current crisis. The results show that the crisis is rooted to the time when the previous Emir of Qatar resumed authority over his father (The Founder) the pro-Saudi. So when his ambition of placing Qatar on the World map of politics as an effective and a leading figure in the political arena of the GCC and the region, adding to that Qatar's mysterious relations with Iran, and its varied sided positions in the Arab Spring all contributed to make a crisis become a conflict. The implication of this result may provide an immediate indication whether this conflict will be solved peacefully or further drag the region into a dangerous whirlpool of divided interests. It is important though to indicate that this research will not engage in discovering what might occur as a consequence of this crisis since the on-going problem has little literature that could be utilized for establishing a framework for discussing possible culminations of the crisis.
