Under embargo Qatar takes delivery of first Rafale jets –
Five Rafale fighter jets arrived in Qatar on Wednesday, a diplomatic source in Doha told AFP, a symbolic delivery as Doha marked two years under a Saudi-led embargo. Qatar inked a number of major arms deals after Riyadh and its allies the United Arab Emirates, Egypt and Bahrain announced a total economic boycott of Doha in June 2017. The alliance severed diplomatic, trade and economic ties over Doha’s alleged support for Iran and Islamist movements — charges Qatar strenuously denies.
