Qatar crisis: Saudi Arabia insists Gulf country must meet its demands ‘soon’
Bethan McKernan Beirut
Wednesday 7 June 2017 15:00 BST
Saudi Arabia has issued neighbouring Qatar with a list of 10 demands it must
meet, after Riyadh and other nations in the region took the unexpected step
of cutting off ties to the tiny kingdom, accusing it of supporting
terrorism.
Kuwaiti mediators flew to the Saudi capital on Tuesday, where diplomats
conveyed extensive demands of Doha, including cutting off all links with
Iran and expelling resident members of Palestinian militant group Hamas and
the pan-Arab Muslim Brotherhood.
Other points included curbs on the freedom of Qatar’s state-funded
broadcaster al-Jazeera, which its Gulf neighbours have accused of slander
and ‘fake news’, orders to stop “interfering” in foreign countries’
affairs and to cease any funding or support for terrorist organisations.
Qatar vehemently denies all these allegations.
Saudi Arabia cuts ties with Qatar over terror links
Saudi Arabia’s foreign minister demanded on Tuesday that Qatar respond to
its ultimatum “soon,” if the leaders of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC)
were to meet to discuss further reconciliatory action.
It was with “great pain” that his country and others took measures against
Qatar, said Adel al-Jubeir, but it was the aim of “restoring relations to
how they were in the past”.
The minister spoke to media after meetings with his German counterpart in
Berlin.
An Emirati diplomat took a harder stance on Wednesday, telling the
Associated Press “there's nothing to negotiate” with Qatar.
Doha has “chosen to ride the tiger of extremism and terrorism” and now
needs to pay the price, said Emirati Minister of State for Foreign Affairs
Anwar Gargash, in a signal that some involved in the standoff are not
willing to negotiate.
The UAE’s justice ministry warned social media users on Wednesday that any
expressions of “sympathy” for Qatar could result in between three to 15
years in prison, as well as hefty fines.

On Monday, the Saudis accused Doha of supporting Iran-backed “terrorist
activities” in the country’s east, as well as in Shia-majority Bahrain.
The suggestion that Qatar is aiding and abetting Shia Iran – the majority
Sunni Gulf's arch-rival – is particularly sensitive.
Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain and Egypt severed all diplomatic ties,
followed by the internationally recognised governments of Yemen and Libya,
the Maldives and Mauritania.
The crisis has only escalated since, and could have manifold economic and
political effects for the Middle East – as well as alter the course of the
region’s many conflicts.
The closure of the tiny energy-rich kingdom’s sea, land and air borders
with its neighbours has effectively left Qatar under siege. Panicked
citizens have cleared supermarket shelves of produce, the country’s stock
market has plummeted, and Qatari nationals living abroad have been given 14
days to leave.

Doha’s Hamad International Airport has been eerily quiet since Riyadh led
the charge in revoking state-owned Qatar Airways’ operational licences.
The airline has been blocked from landing in the affected countries, and Al-
Jazeera offices have been shut down by authorities in Saudi Arabia and
Jordan.
Doha has long been considered “rogue and maverick” by its neighbours, said
Emirati Sultan Sooud Al Qassemi on Wednesday. Its citizens must “question
if this is going to end up in seeing a change in leadership itself,” he
added.
On Wednesday, several Gulf diplomats suggested their complaints about Qatar
go back years, implying criticism of Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, who
took over as Qatar’s emir in 1995 and greatly expanded his nation’s
international influence through negotiating hostage releases, briefly
flirting with diplomatic ties to Israel, hosting controversial groups such
as Hamas and the Taliban and creating Al-Jazeera.
Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, his son, became Qatar’s ruling emir in
2013.
The latest row is the worst to affect the region since Qatar drew ire across
the Gulf by publicly backing the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt in 2014.
Aside from the terror support allegations, it has been sparked by other
factors such as anger over “fake news” distributed by Qatar’s state-run
news agency last month – blamed on Russian hackers – and Doha’s April
decision to pay a colossal $500m (£389m) in ransom money to Shia
paramilitaries in Iraq for the safe return of several members of its Royal
family, kidnapped on a hunting trip.
Iran, the secondary target of Monday’s co-ordinated move, has blamed US
President Donald Trump for emboldening the Gulf states after a two-day trip
to Riyadh last month in which he reiterated US support for Saudi Arabia and
singled out Iran as a sponsor of Islamist terrorism.
While in tweets Mr Trump appeared to back his Saudi allies’ decision, the
White House has officially urged Arab unity for “peace and security” in
the region. | t****n
