Arab States and their Ambassadors

When Egypt was thinking too much how to deal with Qatar and Turkey, which were hostile to Egypt and supporters of terrorism by all means, Egypt was also thinking about the friendly countries of Qatar and Turkey like Saudi Arabia and other Gulf countries. This was the position of the Egyptian state which was announced by its foreign ministry. Yet, the Gulf countries didn t accept that Egypt mentioned the involvement of Qatar in on e of the terrorist attacks that targeted a Church in Cairo.

Now, as the Gulf countries cut relations with Qatar, Egypt has comfortably withdrawn the ambassador and cut diplomatic ties with Qatar. It s sad that we care for countries that didn t care for us, and it is even sadder that Qatar cares about nothing and decided to return its ambassador to Iran cutting the way before all attempts to reconcile with the Gulf countries that replaced their 13 demands to be only six, but who cares! Qatar could only see its benefits and interests. 
 
This is what Tunisia did with Turkey when it summoned the Turkish ambassador to rebuke Turkey for its support to the terrorist Wagdi Ghoniem who insulted the Tunisian president. Yet, we couldn t do the same though Ghoniem is insulting Egypt day and night since we think too much about economic and political power.
I wish we do the same with Turkey and Qatar just like we deal with opposition of the regime. Long live Egypt.
