The Qatari government liaison office confirmed that the misinformation campaign that paved the way for the blockade that Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain and Egypt imposed on Qatar three years ago, was coordinated and unprecedented, but he made clear that Doha was used to such campaigns.
The office told Agence France-Presse that no one expected the campaign launched in late May 2017 to be misleading and coordinated in this way.
"Now in Qatar and the world, people are used to this type of campaign, and they are not taking it seriously," he added.
The Qatari government liaison office noted that similar campaigns are damaging the reputation of the governments behind them.
The office's comments come within the framework of a report by the French Press Agency on the role of media misinformation in the Gulf crisis industry, which was launched by penetrating the Qatar News Agency in late May 2017 and broadcasting forged statements attributed to the Emir of the country, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, and developed into a declaration of the four countries on June 5 June of the same year cut and close relations with Qatar.
