Sheikh Abdullah bin Ali al-Thani tweeted a message to the people of Qatar requesting them to unite to “be the messengers of peace”.

“To my family, the children, the businessmen, and all the people of Qatar. I invite you to meet to be messengers of wisdom and peace, and advocates for the uniting of the hearts,” he tweeted on Sunday night.

Al-Thani requested a national meeting with him regarding a crisis “which we can no longer remain silent in”, he said in a one-page statement released on Sunday.

The Qatari royal family member said the situation surrounding the crisis was “getting worst” and is “pushing us to a fate we do not want to reach”.

Bin Ali also said that Saudi Arabia’s King Salman was keen on the safety of Qatar and its people. The Qatari sheikh has called on the people of Qatar to communicate with him and set a date for a national meeting later.
