His Highness the Emir of Qatar addresses the nation
The Emir has addressed the nation. Here are the key points:
1. The spirit of solidarity, harmony and defiance that had prevailed in the people of Qatar frustrated the hopes of those who banked on the opposite side.
2. All those who live in this country have become spokespersons for Qatar.
3. The people have seen through the heavy curtain of concoctions and incitement, to impose capitulation on this country. People do not believe the lies of those who do not respect their minds.
4. Arab and non-Arab countries that have respected public opinion stood with us, or at least did not stand with the seige.
5. Qatar does not try to impose its opinion on anyone.
6. Since childhood, our youth have learned that lying and slander are two of the worst vices.
7. Qatar is fighting terrorism relentlessly and without compromise, and the international community recognises this.
8. Differences are resolved through dialogue and negotiation, and we should not burden civilians with political differences.
9. The crisis has driven Qatari society to not only explore its human values but to also draw on its sources of strength which lie in its unity, will and determination.
10. The government with its various ministeries and state institutions effectively dealt with the crises to cater for all the needs of the population.
11. We are opening our economy to initiatives, investment, production of food and medicine, and ultimately to diversify our sources of income.
12. We are not afraid of identifying and correcting our error. This crisis has helped us identify and overcome the shortcomings and obstacles indetermining Qatar's national, political and economic and independent identity.
13. We are all passing through this test with honour and dignity. We need diligence, creativity, independent thinking and self-reliance for the future.
14. We are open to dialogue to find solutions to lingering problems within the framework of respect for sovereignty and will of each State as mutual undertakings and joint commitments binding all.
15. Qatar stands in solidarity with the Palestinian people, especially people in Al Quds (Jerusalem) and condemns the closure of the Al-Aqsa Mosque.

First cab this King answer, where the money of Qatar Charity is going. Where the roads, schools and houses built in Syria. How many charity companies in Qatar and where they sending money. What is Shilatech doing. I know my ID will be blocked after this but this is a honest question
Lets all pray for a peaceful and friendliest solution for these problems once for all. Aameen
