Bahrain Mirror: Saudi royal court adviser Saud Al Qahtani said on Tuesday that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman addressed the Qatar crisis during his meeting with reporters in Egypt and said that he did not occupy himself with it, according to Al Arabiya.

"I do not occupy myself with it. The one handling the matter has a post less than a minister's. Qatar's entire population is less than the number of residents in a street in Egypt. Any minister (in Saudi Arabia) can resolve that crisis," Qahtani quoted the crown prince as saying.

"A dear colleague at the ministry of foreign affairs whose ranking is Grade 12 is in charge of the Qatari matter, in addition to the tasks assigned to him," Qahtani said.

Qahtani also said that the crown prince compared US' policy towards Cuba with the anti-terror quartet's policy towards Qatar.

"I disagree with his Highness in one thing here. The US was deprived of the Cuban cigar but we have not been deprived of anything. Qatar has been deprived of everything, such as pastures, and it ended up transforming from a ‘peninsula' into an isolated ‘island'," he added.
