There was a very interesting report on CNN about the current Blockade, which actually explained that while Qatar are suffering, Bahrain is suffering far more.

The report didn't speculate on whether the blockade would end, but it did quote the below figure.

The blockade, is costing Qatar circa $500,000,000 per week. Yep, $500m a week! That's got to become problematic much sooner rather than later - perhaps as seen, by the fact that the number of airline partners able to help QR, has depleted.
