Qatari-Saudi/UAE feud

Thus far, this is clear: Qatar does not want to escalate and it weirdly focusing ints attacks (rather mildly) on the media of UAE and Saudi regime as if those media are independent and acting on their own.  They also are using the American theme of "false news" and rumors.  But the behavior of the Qatari regime media on that night reveals something else: as if there are divisions on top, and lack of a coordinated message.  The Saudi and and UAE media have been preparing for this: it was clear that things have been simmering.  Qatari regime media have been mocking and needling Saudi Arabia and UAE for a while now.  The funny part is this: Saudi regime media focus their attack on Qatari regime on the charge that it is too close to Israel and Iran, and that it hosts US military base.
