Middle-East: Arab countries have little to lose from maintaining boycott of Qatar as it keeps funding terrorism

Qatar is trying to strike a reconciliation deal with other Gulf states while still funding terrorism, a Middle East analyst said. Nearly four years after severing ties with Doha over its support for terrorist groups, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Bahrain and Egypt have been urged to ensure a commitment to ending terror financing is included in any agreement. They imposed a boycott in 2017 over Doha’s support for the Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas and other terrorist groups, its strong ties with Iran and its interference in the internal affairs of its neighbours. “As promising as reconciliation would be, the Quartet must refuse any deal that excludes Qatar's unequivocal promise to cease its profligate terrorism financing," said Jordan Cope, a US analyst with the Middle East Forum. Mr Cope, a law student studying at the University of Texas, said the terrorism funding had destabilised an entire region. “Restoring previous ties at any other cost would convey a renewed tolerance, and t...

The UN and the EU’s special representative on human rights have criticized Qatar for passing legislation curbing free speech. Eamon Gilmore called the laws, which criminalize the spreading of “false” information, “vaguely worded.” He said he had raised the issue with Qatar’s Foreign Ministry and the country’s National Human Rights Committee.

That upper timeframe was increased to five years for cases in which “ill intent” could be demonstrated. The difficulty arises in the definition of “false news,” which is not specified in the law itself, leaving it open to liberal interpretation. Gilmore said he is “concerned about some pieces of legislation which relate to freedom of expression and freedom of the press.” He added: “Freedom of expression is a very important part of the way in which the EU sees human rights. We attach a very high priority to it. We ur...

Qatar-funded Al-Jazeera Caught Spreading Fake- News About Popular Arab-Israeli Vlogger

Nuseir Yassin has perhaps one of the most recognizable faces on Facebook. Over the last few years, his videos have taken social media by storm, racking up millions and millions of views. Also known as Nas, or Nas Daily, his video clips, which are generally one minute long, touch upon a wide array of topics, including travel, food, arts, the environment and racism. His personable style, flashy video effects and youthful energy have enabled Nas to create a massively receptive audience online, with his posts generating huge amounts of likes, shares and comments. But in an uncharacteristic video released on Wednesday, Nas took on Al Jazeera, exposing a campaign to smear him by the news network, which is effectively an extension of the Qatari government. His wrongdoing? Being an Arab who openly promotes peaceful co-existence, including between Jewish Israelis and Palestinians. In the video, Nas shows clips of the Qatari channel spreading the lie that he is “using words such as… ...
