Egypt calls for Qatar’s expulsion from the Global Coalition Against Daesh

Egypt called for Qatar’s membership in the Global Coalition Against Daesh to end, calling it a “contradiction” that could undermine the coalition’s credibility, according to statements by Foreign Ministry spokesman Ahmed Abu Zeid. Abu Zeid’s statement comes ahead of a coalition conference scheduled to kick off today in DC, during which he said the Egyptian delegation will present further evidence of state-sponsored terrorism in “certain countries.” This comes as Doha said it is forming a committee to seek compensation for damages to the state resulting from its rift with Egypt and the GCC, the Associated Press reports.
