Al-Jazeera must close, say the Saudis
'Close al-Jazeera': Saudi Arabia issues Qatar with 13 demands to end blockade
23 June 2017
The closure of the Qatar-funded broadcaster al-Jazeera is among 13 wide-ranging demands tabled by Saudi Arabia and other Gulf States as the price for lifting its two-week trade and diplomatic embargo of Qatar.
The list, obtained by Associated Press, is the first time Saudi Arabia has been prepared to put in writing the often ill-defined demands it is making of Qatar.
The demands include:
-Close down al-Jazeera and all its affiliates, plus other Qatar-funded news outlets
-Close a military base operated by Turkey
-Expel all citizens of Saudi Arabia, Egypt, UAE and Bahrain currently in Qatar
-Hand over all individuals wanted by those four countries for terrorism
-Stop funding any extremist entities that are designated as terrorist groups by the US
-Provide detailed information about opposition figures Qatar has funded
-Shut down diplomatic posts in Iran
-Expel any members of Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guard
-Conduct trade and commerce with Iran only that complies with US sanctions
The Saudi-led alliance regards al-Jazeera, the most widely watched broadcaster in the Arab world, as a propaganda tool for Islamists that also undermines support for their governments.
Qatar has been given 10 days to comply with the demands.
Qatar insists it does not fund terrorists, and says the imposition of the embargo is a punishment for following an independent foreign policy more sympathetic to the principles of the Arab spring.

Qatar rejects deadline demands, saying it does not fear military action
2 July 2017
Qatar said on Saturday it does not fear any military retaliation for refusing to meet a Monday deadline to comply with a list of demands from four Arab states that have imposed a de-facto blockade on the Gulf nation.
During a visit to Rome, foreign minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani again rejected the demands as an infringement on Qatar’s sovereignty. He said any country is free to raise grievances with Qatar, provided they have proof, but said any such conflicts should be worked out through negotiation, not by imposing ultimatums.

They've been paid off by the Pimp State and its chief funder to make claims.
They have to shut down dissenting voices so the war in Syria can go ahead.
