Oman to leave the GCC?

Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

The former Vice Chairman of Oman’s Shurah Council, Saalem Al-Siyabi, tweeted on Saturday that his former government is hoping to work on a Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) referendum that models the Brexit campaign in the United Kingdom.

If a similar referendum was passed in Oman; this would be the first time since its founding that a GCC country would leave this conglomeration of Gulf nations.

Infuriated over Al-Siyabi’s tweet, several Saudi twitter users, including the popular journalist, Jamal Khashoggi, attacked the former Omani politician for his comments.

However, Al-Siyabi was not alone: Oman’s Foreign Ministry congratulated the United Kingdom for their “courageous” vote to exit the European Union (E.U.).

Using Twitter, the Omani Foreign Ministry issued a series of tweets that reflected the government’s view of the U.K.s decision to leave the E.U.

الشعب البريطاني اتخذ قرارا شجاعا تاريخيا بالخروج من الاتحاد الاوروبي.. يفسره البعض كرد فعل حازم تجاه بعض سياسات المفوضية الأوروبية.

— وزارة الخارجية (@FMofOman) June 24, 2016

وذلك في الاستفتاء الشعبي الذي جرى يوم أمس الاول الموافق الثالث والعشرين من شهر يونيو الجاري
