Abu Dhabi - Egypt Today
Observers expect that more pressure will be exercised on Qatar to force it change its policy towards Egypt and Gulf states, Arabic-speaking Sky News channel said in a report on Wednesday.
Qatar became in a more critical situation after judicial verdicts were issued against the Muslim Brotherhood leaderships in Egypt over acting as spooks for Qatar, said the report which focused on the negative role played by the Qatari media since toppling the Brotherhood ruling in 2013 against the Egyptian state.
The reported highlighted that Egyptians had for the first time burnt the flag of an Arab state – Qatar – in a demonstration that took place two months before ousting the Brotherhood ruling.
The report added that the Egyptian-Qatari ties witnessed unprecedented tension since June 30, 2013 when Egyptians terminated the Brotherhood ruling, while Qatar was siding with the Brotherhood group.
Although Qatar pledged in 2014 before the Gulf Cooperation Council to stop interfering into the Egyptians affairs and supporting the Muslim Brotherhood, the Arab state did not cling to its promise and devoted its mass media to attack Egypt under the pretext of restoring what is termed as legitimacy.
