Qatar’s emir, in a rare interview with Western media, said his country will not accept the demands of a Saudi-led bloc that has been boycotting it since June.
“Our sovereignty is a red line. We don’t accept anybody interfering in our sovereignty,’’ Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani told CBS News’ Charlie Rose in an interview aired Sunday on 60 Minutes.
