The Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani used the pulpit of the UN General Assembly to attack the four neighbours that have imposed a blockade against it, accusing them of "terrorism"-like behaviour. Sheikh Tamim met privately with US President Donald Trump at the annual diplomatic meet in New York on Tuesday as Doha sought to win international support in its 106-day-old spat with Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Bahrain and Egypt. He also said in a 22- minutes, The blockade aimed to pressure Qataris via "foodstuffs, medicine and ripping off consanguineous relations to force them change their political affiliation to destabilise a sovereign country."Isn't this one of the definitions of terrorism?" Sheikh Tamim asked. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan spoke in the same UN session after Sheikh Tamim and showed support for Qatar in a wide-ranging speech. Erdogan called for the lifting of “sanctions negatively affecting the living conditions of the Qatari people” and urged the region’s “elder brother” Saudi Arabia to “show sincere will for the resolution of the issue”.
