The four neighbours have cut off diplomatic relations with Qatar, closed their borders and issued demands and ultimatums. Qatar has declared that it won't give in to any ultimatum, and that all demands are rejected as they're a trial to undermine the sovereignity of the nation.
Qatar, (with its capital city Doha) is a land rich in oil and gas, so naturally it is one that attracts great interest, and not only from its neighbours. It has also been chosen to host the 2022 World Cup tournament (Mondial 2022). Now, it seems this Mondial is under great uncertainty .

All sorts of factors (Kuweit, USA, Russia, Germany, the UN) are trying to moderate in the above diplomatic crisis so as to avoid escalation and ensuing instability in the region.
It doesn't seem likely at this point that there's going to be a joint military action of the four neighbouring countries against Qatar. However, the situation is very unpleasant, not to say explosive.
If indeed terrorism is financed by Qatar, this should immediately be stopped; supporting terrorism in any way is an act of war against humanity. All the other issues (among them the neighbours' demand to close Al Jazeera TV net ,and a turkish military base) - are internal affairs to be dealt with by Qatar's government.
In any case, Qatar largely depends on import (including food import). Closed borders, boycotts and this sort of thing, will have a disastrous impact on the country even though Iran and Turkey are behind with "moral" support and food supply, helping her at the moment defy its neighbours.
Never a dull moment in the Middle East.
