Doha’s Rejection, a Threat to Regional Security

The four Arab states leading against Qatar have described Doha’s rejection of their demands as a threat to regional security.

In a statement, Saudi Arabia Bahrain, Egypt and the United Arab Emirates also warned of unspecified new measures.

Last month, the 4 countries severed ties with Qatar, in effect imposing a land blockade on the tiny emirate.

They demanded that Qatar shut down Aljazeera Tv, reduce ties with Iran and end its alleged support for jihadists.

 

Qatar rejected the Saudi-led bloc’s ultimatum and denies the allegations against it.
