[20] This was precipitated by messages broadcast by the Qatar News Agency in May 2017 which criticized Saudi Arabia and cast Iran and the Muslim Brotherhood in a positive light. Qatar denied that it was responsible for the messages, claiming that its news agency was hacked. The four aforementioned countries censored all Qatari news outlets as part of severing diplomatic ties. [21] In addition to severing ties on 5 June, the UAE also expelled all Qatari nationals living in the Emirates and prohibited its citizens from travelling to Qatar.
According to analysts, the participation from the UAE signaled that the feud between the countries might come to an end soon. [33] On 6 January 2021, Qatar and UAE agreed to fully restore diplomatic ties. [34] The Misfits 2021[edit] The film has been controversial in Qatar after its release owing to some real life negative references to Qatar to "terror" financing and explicit references to Muslim Brotherhood as "terrorists" with Yusuf al-Qaradawi as their mastermind. [35] A documentary by Al Jazeera, released in August 2021, revealed the United Arab Emirates actively funded the American movie. [36] QatarGate Scandal[edit] In December 2022, Qatar was alleged of running influence campaigns in the European Parliament.
The Arab uprisings ushered a new chapter in the Qatari–Emirati competition. The competition led to the Emiratis playing a major role in the withdrawal of ambassadors from Qatar in 2014. At the beginning of the current diplomatic crisis, particularly after the hacking saga, UAE was trying to maintain the problem. Yet, Al Jazeera's publishing of Yousuf al-Otaiba's leaked emails got the UAE on board with Saudi Arabia. "[22][23] In two separate incidents, on 21 December 2017 and 3 January 2018, the UAE was accused by Qatar's government of infringing on its airspace with fighter jets. As a result, two complaints were filed to the UN by Qatar's representative Alya bint Ahmed Al Thani.
[11] The ambassadors returned to their posts in June. [12] In September 2014, it was reported that the Emirati government invested $3 mn into a lobbying campaign against Qatar, primarily as a response to Qatar's support for the Muslim Brotherhood. [13] The campaign was aimed at influencing American journalists to publish critical articles of Qatar's alleged funding of Islamist groups. [14] Qatar has also been accused of influencing news outlets to report unfavorably on the UAE. [15] It was claimed by journalist Brian Whitaker that the UAE used Global Network for Rights and Development, an NGO to which it has ties, as a political tool.
[26] Another air traffic-related incident occurred on 15 January 2018, when the UAE accused Qatar of 'intercepting' two civilian airliners en route to Bahrain with fighter jets. [27] This was quickly denied by Qatari government officials. [28] During the 2019 Asian Cup semifinal match between Qatar and the tournament host United Arab Emirates, the UAE supporters threw bottles and footwears into the pitch. This conduct was preceded by booing the Qatari national anthem. Qatar won 4–0 despite the situation, paving way to their first Asian Cup final and eventual title.
