The international diplomatic support for Qatar, especially from
Germany and Turkey, in addition to mixed signals from the US, has put
Qatar in a comfortable position, French newspaper Le Monde has said.
It also added that finding alternative options for import of goods,
and Qatar residents' support to the Emir H H Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al
Thani has boosted the confidence of authorities in Qatar.
Those who imposed the blockade were thinking that they would create a
shock in Qatar, and a few days after the blockade, Qatar would give up.
But the scenario of bowing to the pressure has disappeared.
The Emir has received calls from leaders in Turkey, the UK, Italy and
Germany and they discussed the crisis and asked to solve it by
diplomatic ways.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan recently said that Turkey was
makikng necessary efforts in order to solve the crisis before Eid Al
Fitr.
Also, 31 Algerian parliamentarians announced establishing a
Parliamentary Committee for solidarity with Qatar, and they said that
"the decision against Qatar is mainly to sabotage the Palestinian
issue.”
These countries were seeking support in African countries where only a
few responded positively to their demands while most of the countries
refused to take sides and most of them sent positive messages for
Qatar.
He added that the visits have yielded positive results as they have
asked these countries to remove the blockade and solve this crisis
through dialogue. This critical time has revealed who are real friends
of Qatar. He added that during the Riyadh Summit everything was smooth
and normal and no one raised any issues.
Qatar was surprised with their reactions to the hacking of QNA. Their
reaction to hacking showed that there was a preplanned media campaign
against Qatar.
