Tillerson calls for unity among Arab countries to root out IS group

US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson has called for unity among Arab countries in the Gulf for the sake of regional stability and to root out the Islamic State group.

Addressing a donor conference in Kuwait to support reconstruction efforts in Iraq, he said the rift between Qatar and its neighbours is counterproductive to efforts to root out the Islamic State group.

He said although major combat operations against IS has ended but fight against the group is far from over.APP
