Qatari royal family welcomes Abdullah Al-Thani’s statement

CAIRO – 18 September 2017: Some members of the Qatari royal family have welcomed greatly the statement issued on Sunday by Sheikh Abdullah bin Ali Al-Thani published on his official Twitter account regarding the current political crisis in the Arab Gulf region, as they cared for ending the crisis, according to Al Arabiya.

“It would be failure for our country and people if we remain silent on Qatari crisis,” said Sheikh Abdullah Al-Thani in a telephone interview with A Arabiya.

“I will not declare the names of the members except for Sheikh Mubarak bin Khalifa Al-Thani who I have contacted and agreed on announcing his name,” added Sheikh Abdullah Al-Thani.

The statement came as the following: “It hurts me, because the situation is getting worse to the extent of obvious provocation against the stability of the Arab Gulf region, interference in others’ affairs, and pushing the region to an unknown and unwanted fate, similar to the fate of states who chose to act unwisely only to end up drowning in chaos and ruin.

Given the current situation, I call the reasonable members of the Qatari royal family and the prominent figures of the emirate to launch a national meeting over the current political crisis, as an attempt to bring back the strong ties between Arab Gulf states.”
