Read the full assessment
The rules clearly establish that resolution to affirmative requires a formal announcement by either the UAE or Saudi Arabia stating that diplomatic relations have been suspended. The deadline is explicitly fixed to December 31, 2026, at 11:59 PM Gulf Standard Time. Official government announcements are prioritized as the primary evidence, with a consensus of credible reporting permitted as a backup. Holders should primarily ensure that any reported diplomatic rupture involves an explicit formal suspension of relations rather than minor diplomatic disputes, partial downgrades, or temporary ambassador recalls.
