Arab feud over Qatar boils over at Cairo meeting
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleCAIRO — A Qatari diplomat says “dogs” backed by “some regimes” are waging a media campaign against his country, a thinly veiled jab at Gulf countries that drew a sharp rebuke at an Arab League meeting.
Qatar’s minister of state for foreign affairs, Soltan bin Saad al-Muraikhi, delivers the remarks at the Arab League headquarters in Cairo today, angering Saudi and Egyptian representatives.
After his speech, Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry rejects what he says are “baseless insults.”
Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates cut ties with Qatar in June over its close ties to Iran and its alleged support for extremists. Qatar has denied supporting extremism, saying the crisis is politically motivated.
