Qatar has achieved a boost in morale after proving its resilience to the blockade, especially after the four countries fell flat in a press conference in July.

They sealed the emirate's only land border, ordered its citizens to leave and closed their airspace and waters to Qatari flights and shipping, calling for Doha to fall in line with Saudi-led policy in the region, particularly towards Iran.

The blockading countries also demanded that Qatar break its longstanding ties with the Muslim Brotherhood, blacklisted as a "terror group" by the four governments although not by the international community, while seeking for the closure of broadcasting giant Al Jazeera and a Turkish military base.

Qatar has dismissed the demands as a violation of its sovereignty and has received significant support from its ally Turkey.
