Tunisian Brotherhood turns against Qatar

CAIRO – 13 June 2017: The Muslim Brotherhood branch in Tunisia has officially given up on Qatar, Ennhada Movement spokesman Emad Al-Khomairi declared on Tuesday. He announced that Ennhada will not support Qatar against the other Arab nations, but the movement will remain neutral.

Khomairi told Shams FM radio station that the Movement will not contradict the official stance of the Tunisian government but its stance will remain in coherence with the Tunisian high interests.

“Ennhada is a participant in the ruling regime, so the state foreign policy must not be a controversial or a disputing issue among the political parties,” Khomairi manifested.

He noted that Ennhada stressed disputes in the Arab Gulf may harm the Arab interests and called them all for a dialogue. “Democracy never witnesses disputes over diplomatic and foreign issues,” he asserted.

Khomairi asserted the Gulf nations have to resolve their disputes through running a dialogue which is the only way that helps the public interests and principles.

Egypt, along with United Arab of Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Bahrain, Yemen and Libya have severed ties with Qatar on June 5, enlisting 59 individuals and 12 entities based in Qatar on terrorism list.
