Call to internationalise holy sites a war declaration: Saudi
Saudi Arabia's Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir called Qatar's alleged demands to internationalise the Muslim Haj pilgrimage a declaration of war against the kingdom. However, Qatar, which had accused Saudi officials of "politicising the Haj", by disallowing several Muslims from Qatar to attend the pilgrimage, said that no official from the Gulf country made such a call. n
