Yemen joins Riyadh, Cairo, UAE and Bahrain in severing ties with Qatar Jerusalem Post, Jun 5, 2017, Reuters
Qatar calls measures "unjustified," claims allegations are baseless.
Iranian official warns cutting ties will lead to instability. Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain severed their ties with Qatar on Monday, accusing the wealthy Gulf Arab state of supporting terrorism.
Hours later Yemen's state news agency announced that San'aa also decided to cut diplomatic relations.
The coordinated move dramatically escalates a simmering dispute over Qatar's support of the Muslim Brotherhood, the world's oldest Islamist movement, and adds accusations that Doha even backs the agenda of regional arch-rival Iran.
The three Gulf states announced the closure of transport ties with Qatar and gave Qatari visitors and residents two weeks to leave their countries.
Saudi Arabia accused Qatar of backing militant groups and spreading their violent ideology, in an apparent reference to its influential state-owned satellite channel al Jazeera.
