In Egypt, Libya and Syria, where Qatar tried to play a role post-Arab Spring, it finds itself blamed for much that has gone wrong on a local level. Close ties to Egypt’s new leaders, the Muslim Brotherhood, have alarmed countries like the United Arab Emirates, where the Islamist group is still banned and which in January said it had foiled a Brotherhood-linked coup plot. The Arabic words printed over the Star of David read, “Qatar, U.S., Hamas and the Brotherhood are the enemies of Egypt”. REUTERS/Amr Abdallah Dalsh/Files
