Baladi News – (Mona Ali)
Assad’s regime, through its news agency, SANA, expressed great pleasure after three Gulf States, as well as Egypt, suddenly cut their links with Qatar on Monday.
SANA addressed the topic in a long report titled, “the crisis among the gulf kingdoms and emirates escalates…the regimes of Saudi, Emirates, and Bahrain cut links with Qatar Sheikhdom,” and added an edited image in which King Salman and Qatar's Prince Sheikh Tamim appeared in front of the Israeli flag.
Whereas the Gulf States were treated with contempt, Egypt was treated with respect by SANA, as the report referred to it as “the Republic of Egypt.”
The agency attributed the discord to a “terrorist conflict” among the Gulf States over the magnitude of the roles and the abilities to impact the course of the schemes plotted against the states of the region and control the terrorist groups in Syria, Iraq, and other countries.
The unethical stand of Assad’s regime contrasted with a positively neutral position by the Syrian military and political opposition. None of the opposition’s statements were biased to any sides. Rather, they all highlighted the importance of disassociation from intervening into the affairs of these countries.
However, some parties that are most probably affiliated with Assad’s regime, faked a statement alleging that Jaysh al-Islam accuses Qatar of supporting terrorism, which could lead to heightening the infighting between Jaysh al-Islam and al-Rahman Legion.
Wiam Wahhab, a prominent thug and mouthpiece of Assad’s regime called upon Egypt to end the state of Qatar and arrest its prince, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad.
Retweeting Wahhab, the Syrian politician and writer Muhyiddin Lazikani, said, “to those who are thrilled to fish in spoiled waters, Gulf States will reconcile and you will appear insignificant again.”
