Qatar's non-retreat from its positions exacerbated the crisis and eventually led to the severance of diplomatic relations between the two countries and the siege of Qatar by Saudi Arabia. This study aims to understand the media policy of Saudi Arabia regarding Qatar during the crisis and siege (2017-2021). To achieve this goal, Saudi Arabia's media policy from 2017 to 2021 has been studied using the qualitative content analysis method.
