Doha has a new man in Cairo: Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani on Wednesday named Tariq Al Ansari (LinkedIn) as the country’s ambassador to Egypt, according to the Qatar News A gency. The move makes Al Ansari the second ambassador Qatar has appointed to Egypt after the two countries re-established diplomatic ties in 2021, following their severing in 2017 over Doha’s continued support for the Ikhwan. Al Ansari follows in the shoes of Salem bin Mubarak Al Shafi.
