While the foreign minister of Bahrain after meeting with his Arab counterparts signaled a willingness to talk over Qatar dispute if certain demands are met, the feud between Saudi Arabia and Qatar escalated at the United Nation as Qatar called to internationalize the Muslim holy sites in Saudi Arabia, Mecca, and Medina. On Saturday, Qatar’s National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) lodged a complaint with the UN Special Rapporteur on freedom of belief and religion over what it called a stark violation of international laws and agreement that guarantee the right to worship as Qatari citizen are being put into difficult situation over their travel to the holy sites. Qatar's human rights commission also protested that Saudi Arabia has made it extremely difficult for many Qataris to reach Mecca by stipulating that they can only land at two Saudi airports, one in Jeddah, and the other in Medina. The ban specifically targets Qatar Airways, with the Saudi authorities saying that would-be pilgrims must use other airlines for their journey and can depart from Doha only.

After Qatar’s call, Saudi Arabia’s foreign minister Adel al-Jubeir lashed out at Qatar by equaling its actions at the UN as an act of war. He said, ““Qatar's request to internationalize the holy sites is an aggressive act and a declaration of war against the kingdom”.
