Qatar says Arab Countries’ demands rejected

CAIRO – 1 July 2017: Qatari Foreign Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al-Thani said that the Arab Countries’ 13 demands are against the international law, adding that such demands have been received, but they will be rejected, Al-Khaleej Online reported on Saturday.

He added in a press conference that Doha is ready for dialogue and to discuss the issue.

Arab and Gulf countries , mainly Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Bahrain, severed their ties with Qatar over accusations of “supporting terrorist group.”
