Qatari Foreign Minister Khalid bin Mohammed al-Attiyah, left, arrives to attend a meeting of Gulf foreign ministers in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, Saturday Aug. 30, 2014.

Saudi Arabia, along with the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, withdrew their ambassadors from Qatar in March in an unprecedented public protest largely believed to be spurred by the tiny nation's support for Islamist groups in Egypt, Libya, the Gaza Strip and elsewhere.
