Jazeera fabricates reports about Arab nations: Gargash

CAIRO – 18 October 2017: Foreign Minister of the United Arab Emirates Anwar Gargash lambasted the constancy of the Qatari-owned Al-Jazeera channel in propagating false news and intentionally fabricating reports about Arab nations.

“Al-Jazeera and Qatari media are still fabricating negative reports about the UAE; repudiating such policies that support terrorism and extremism is the only way to resolve the current deadlock,” Gargash tweeted on Monday.

ستستمر الجزيرة وإعلام قطر في فبركة التقارير السلبية حول الإمارات،وسيبقى بيت القصيد تصحيح قطر لتوجهها في دعم التطرف والإرهاب للخروج من أزمتها

Shutting down Al-Jazeera was included in the list of Arab demands that was handed over to Doha for reconciliation. The demands came following the complete boycott placed on Qatar by Saudi Arabia, Egypt, UAE and Bahrain over alleged support for terrorism.
