DOHA (Reuters) – Qatar’s Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani said on Tuesday that Arab states that imposed sanctions on his country in June over allegations of supporting terrorism were not interested in a solution to the crisis.
Speaking to members of the Gulf Arab state’s consultative Shoura Council, Tamim also accused Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Egypt of trying to deprive his country of hosting the soccer World Cup in 2022.
