Qatar and Saudi Arabia and its allies are expected to sign a deal on Tuesday designed to end a protracted feud that has split the Middle East and hampered U.S. efforts to isolate Iran, senior Trump administration officials said on Monday.
White House senior adviser Jared Kushner, who helped broker an end to the standoff over the past few weeks, flew to Saudi Arabia on Monday to attend the signing after getting a rare invitation to the Gulf Cooperation Council meeting in Saudi Arabia, where leaders are expected to take the first major steps in ending the dispute.
