The head of the Qatar Shura Council, Ahmad Al Mahmoud, said that the directives of Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani, since the first day of the Gulf crisis, have decided not to make people affected by any dispute between countries.

In a special meeting with the envoy of “Russia Today ” Al Mahmoud said during the work of the 140th General Assembly of the Inter-Parliamentary Union in Doha.

The UAE boycotted everything with Qatar, except for Qatari gas.

“If we cut gas on the UAE, and this is our right according to international laws, because they started the blockade, one third of Dubai and one-third of Abu Dhabi will sink in the dark”.

The President of the Shura Council, that his country did not deal similarly with the countries of the province, and did not expel any of the citizens of these countries resident.

Al-Mahmoud added that 300,000 Egyptians working in Qatar were not expelled at the outbreak of the Gulf crisis.

Other than the boycott countries, which asked all Qataris to leave their country, even the sick took them out of hospitals and deported them.

He pointed out that Qatar is certain that if the Egyptian workers were expelled, this would have a big impact on Egypt.

This is what Doha does not like, especially since the first victim will be the simple citizen, who has nothing to do with the differences between the countries.

The Gulf crisis erupted on June 5, 2017, with Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates and Egypt deciding to sever diplomatic relations with Qatar.
