A United Arab Emirates minister said Gulf Arab monarchies are going through a “severe” crisis, an apparent reference to a spat between a Saudi-led alliance and Qatar over ties with Iran.

The dispute poses a “grave danger” to members of the Gulf Cooperation Council, Anwar Gargash, the U.A.E. minister of state for foreign affairs, said on Twitter. “Fending off strife needs a change in behavior, building confidence and restoring credibility.”
