Qatar is running out of options — Gargash
Qatar is quickly running out of options amid a diplomatic crisis with the Arab Quartet, UAE Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Dr Anwar Gargash wrote on Twitter Sunday night.
The Arab Quartet has confidently moved beyond the crisis, he said.
“It is no longer a priority for them,” he said, adding that Doha knows what it needs to do to defuse the crisis.
He said that despite its best efforts, Qatar had failed in its PR campaign to prove to the world that it is being unfairly ‘blockaded’ by Arab states. Qatar has failed at the UN General Assembly in New York despite investing in an aggressive media campaign, he said.
“We are saturated by Qatar’s claims of injustice and messages of denial. The key to resolving the crisis is wisdom and not through the media,” he wrote. “Solving a problem can only be achieved by addressing the roots.”
He also said that Qatar’s pan-Arab Al Jazeera television station is losing its influence in the Arab world.
“The media landscape is shifting in both technology and content,” Gargash posted on Twitter.
