Saudi foreign minister: We have more important issues than the Qatar crisis
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] The Saudi Minister of Foreign Affairs Adel al-Jubeir has said that Qatar...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates... ’s crisis is small matter and there are more important matters to attend to. Some of the threats that Jubeir mentioned include the Iranian threat to Arab national security, the fights against terrorism, the Syrian crisis, Libya, Yemen’s stability, internal development, implementing Vision 2030 in Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... and reform. Jubeir stressed that "we need not to concern ourselves with the Qatari subject." Speaking to editors of Egyptian newspapers on Sunday on the sidelines of the Arab foreign ministers meeting at the Arab League ...an organization of Arabic-speaking states with 22 member countries and four observers. The League tries to achieve Arab consensus on issues, which usually leaves them doing nothing but a bit of grimacing and mustache cursing... in Cairo, Jubeir said that the boycotting countries have sent a message to Qatar demanding that it commits to not supporting or funding terrorism. Jubeir said that the Arab quartet’s demands were in six principles, however Qataris chose to deny the existence of any problem among them, we ask them to leave the denial stage behind and begin the stage of reconsideration and problem solving. The foreign minister also said: "We only want the best for them, they must not interfere in the internal of countries or find platforms for people who justify suicide kabooms. [They must not] host individuals involved in financing forces of Evil ‐ and they continue to collect money and send it forces of Evil and [there shouldn’t be] terrorist elements operating in Qatar, including the Moslem Brüderbund." Jubeir also pointed out that Qataris refer to the boycotting countries’ actions as a "siege" however, he says that a blockade means there are warplanes over Qatari airspace and warships. He continued saying that they [the boycotting countries] refer to the current state as a "boycott." He noted that it has been previously said that if Qatar continues on its current path, they will not be dealing with them. Now, Qatar is doing everything except recognizing the problem, said Jubeir. Recognizing the problem is not wrong, it is positive because it is the first step towards a solution, he added. Posted by: Fred 2017-11-21 |
