Bahrain accuses Qatar of ‘military escalation’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleBahrain’s foreign minister accuses Qatar of a “military escalation” in the Gulf diplomatic crisis, an apparent reference to Doha’s allowing Turkish troops on its territory.
“The disagreement with Qatar is a political and security dispute and has never been military,” Sheikh Khalid bin Ahmed al-Khalifa says on Twitter.
“But the deployment of foreign troops with their armored vehicles is a military escalation for which Qatar will bear the consequences.”
Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain are among several countries that announced on June 5 they were suspending all ties with Qatar, accusing it of support for extremist groups — a claim Doha denies.
