Qatar rejects Saudi-led group allegations

Qatar has expressed regret over false claims in statements issued by Saudi Arabia and its allies in Cairo and Jeddah, describing the accusations by the anti-Doha quartet as a defamation.


Qatar's state news agency quoted a foreign ministry source as saying on Friday that the claims by Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Egypt about Qatar's interference in internal affairs of other countries and financing terrorism are baseless allegations.

Qatar's position of rejecting and condemning all forms of terrorism is consistent and known, the source said.

"The State of Qatar is an active member committed to combating terrorism and its financing at regional and international levels. The international community attests to that."

Qatar remains ready to "cooperate and review all claims that do not contradict the sovereignty of the State of Qatar," the source added.

The source also criticised the anti-Qatar group for accusing Doha of leaking the list of demands, saying the claims were baseless and could be refuted with evidence.
