Egyptian press criticizes Al Jazeera's coverage of demonstrations in Doha
While there was no official comment from the Egyptian government on the demonstrations against a controversial electoral law in Qatar, Egyptian media outlets have criticized Al Jazeera for not covering the protests.
Cairo has remained silent on the recent outbreak of demonstrations in Qatar, but the pro-government Egyptian press has not. Many outlets have criticized the Qatari authorities' handling of the demonstrations and the wide arrests of protesters.
Doha and Cairo continue to strengthen ties. On Aug. 17, new Qatari Ambassador to Egypt Salem Mubarak al-Shafi arrived in Cairo, four years after the two countries withdrew their respective ambassadors.
