Diplomatic rift is widening between Qatar and a Saudi-led alliance of four Arab states. In the latest development, Egypt has decided to end a visa-free entry for Qatari nationals.
The Egyptian Foreign Ministry issued a statement saying it would be senseless to allow Qataris into Egypt without visa. Qatari citizens now have to apply for an entry permit. Cairo said it would maintain some exceptions but has not elaborated on them. Meanwhile, Doha and the U-A-E have locked horns over Abu-Dhabi’s alleged hacking of the Qatari state news agency. The U-A-E rejected the allegation but Qatar said the move violated international law while. Last month, Saudi Arabia, the U-A-E, Bahrain, and Egypt cut their diplomatic ties with Qatar accusing it of supporting terrorism.
