The UAE on Thursday said Qatar's punitive action against terrorists proves Doha has been hosting and supporting extremist groups and individuals. In a tweet, UAE Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Dr Anwar Gargash said: "Pride aside, Qatar is confirming evidence against it and confirming that its support for extremism and terrorism is at the heart of the crisis."
The statement came after Doha blacklisted 20 people and eight organisations as "terrorist," nine months after finding itself isolated in the Gulf over support for extremists and sympathisers.
The list, published by the interior ministry late on Wednesday, includes 12 Qatari nationals, two Saudi Arabians, four Egyptians and two Jordanians.
The move comes nine months after Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain and Egypt cut diplomatic and trade ties with Qatar, accusing Doha of bankrolling extremists and fostering ties with Iran.
