Sawiris urges Egypt businessmen to exit from ‘terror export hub’ Qatar

Egyptian business tycoon Naguib Sawiris called on Egyptian businessmen to withdraw their investments from Qatar and halt business dealings with the Gulf state, his spokesperson said Monday.

The move comes after Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain announced they would cut ties with Qatar, which they have accused of supporting terrorism and destabilizing the region.

Sawiris further said in a tweet later on Monday that Egypt should have severed its relations with Qatar describing it as ‘the hub for terrorism export’.
