Qatari authorities ask 100 Egyptian nationals affiliated to Muslim Brotherhood, Jama'a al-Islamiya, Salafist Front to leave country. The list of names includes Muslim Brotherhood leader and former head of the group's association for members abroad Mohamed Abdel Wahab
Qatar has given the Egyptian nationals notice to leave the country amid a diplomatic rapprochement between Doha and Cairo that has blossomed over the past year
Qatar’s Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani stated that there are no active members of the Muslim Brotherhood or related organizations on Qatari soil. Emir Tamim stated that Qatar deals with states and their legitimate government and not with political organizations
“This relationship does not exist, and there are no active members of the Muslim Brotherhood or any related groups on Qatari soil. We are an open country and a large number of people with different opinions and ideas pass through it, but we are a country and not a party, and we deal with countries and their legitimate governments, not with political organisations,” the magazine quoted Emir Tamim as saying
Egypt designated the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization in 2013, the same year Egypt’s late Islamist President Mohamed Morsi was ousted from power. President El-Sisi said in May 2022 that the Brotherhood had repeatedly threatened to target the army and sow chaos across Egypt
In the wake of Al-Ula Declaration, Cairo and Doha formed an Egyptian-Qatari follow-up committee that has held seven rounds of negotiations over the past year, the last of which was in Doha last September
The course of the follow-up committee has seen the signing of a number of bilateral deals to bolster ties between the two countries, which eventually formed the Egyptian-Qatari High Joint Committee – headed by the two foreign ministers – in March
