CAIRO – 28 September 2017: Extraordinary General Conference of Arab Writers Union blamed Qatari Al Jazeera channel, in a statement, for the destructive role it plays, representing “takfiri” ideology and spreading hatred, in addition to the interference in the internal affairs of the other Arab countries through encouraging disorder and inciting murder, Emirates News Agency (WAM) reported.

The conference held in Al-Ain City in the United Arab Emirates condemned Wednesday Qatar regime for funding and supporting terrorism in other Arab nations. It also called on Arab writers, cultural figures and organizations to totally suspend dealings with Qatar until it comply with all the demands the Arab quartet has outlined earlier, according to WAM.

"It is no longer acceptable for the media, including the Qatari ones, such as Al Jazeera, to be immune from liability for the damages afflicting the region," said Dr. Ahmed Hamli, president of the Arab Federation, earlier on the sidelines of the UN Human Rights Council’s 36th session.

Following the Arab boycotting of Doha, a list of 13 demands was handed to Doha’s government by Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Bahrain for reconciliation, which included the closing of Al Jazeera broadcasting channel.
