Qatar told to close Al Jazeera

26 Jun 2017

(MENAFN) Four Arab states that have boycotted Qatar have handed the country a list of 13 demands, including some likely to infuriate Doha and exacerbate the region’s worst crisis in decades.

Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Egypt sent Qatar the list – which includes a demand to shut down the Qatari-owned Al Jazeera news network – and gave the country 10 days to comply with the demands. CNN’s Erin Burnett obtained the list, which Qatari officials said is authentic.
Some key demands:
Shut down the Al Jazeera media network and its affiliates.
Halt the development of a Turkish military base in the country.
Reduce diplomatic ties with Iran.
Cut ties to extremist organizations.
Stop interfering in the four countries’ affairs.
Stop the practice of giving Qatari nationality to citizens of the four countries.
