All the measures taken by blockading countries against Qatar were built on fabrications that were started by hacking the website of the official Qatar News Agency and attributing to HH the Emir of Qatar fabricated statements, then by attacking Qatar through false news and orchestrated smearing media campaign.

 

The real motive of the blockade and severing diplomatic relations with Qatar include undermining its sovereignty, change its foreign policy, interfere in its internal affairs and silencing the voices critical of the policies of the blockading countries and not to fight terrorism and violent extremism.

 

The blockade imposed on the State of Qatar causes regrettable humanitarian crisis for many mixed Gulf families, involving 12 thousand husbands, wives and children who were forcibly separated from each other in a stark violation of the international humanitarian law.

 

The blockading countries took these unilateral and arbitrary measures against the State of Qatar without referring to the conflict solving mechanism agreed upon in Riyadh in 2014 and the basics of the relations between sovereign countries, let alone the values of good geographical neighborliness and common historical ties.

 

The composition of the impossible demands of the blockading countries was made under an international pressure and with a motive to be rejected by the State of Qatar, although Doha is dealing positively with the mediation led by HH the Emir of Kuwait with the support of the United States, the international community and all the countries of the world that support peace., security and stability in the Gulf region.

 

The demands of the blockading countries are a blunt violation of the sovereignty of the State of Qatar and press and speech freedoms. They also contradict the international law and aim to undermine rather than enhance the international efforts to fight terrorism.

 

The State of Qatar prefers to have cordial relations with the Islamic Republic of Iran based on mutual respect and non-interference in internal affairs of each other, exactly in line with the decision taken by the leaders of GCC in their last two summits.
