Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, UAE, and Egypt are boycotting Qatar. The stated reason for their action is Qatar’s supposed, excessive support for terrorism.
The boycotters demands that Qatari drop its support for Al-Jazeera, the Qatari news network. The boycotters state the Arabic language version of Al-Jazeera contains support for suspicious groups.
How odd that Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, UAE, and Egypt desire to silence a free journalistic endeavor in the Gulf! Egypt still holds an Al-Jazeera journalist.
If the boycotters are so altruistic, why do they fear the free press? This demand diminishes their credibility.
The position of the US is unclear, even though our largest naval base resides in Qatar.
Little Kuwait tries to mediate the crisis. Thanks to the Kuwaitis for their good sense.
