FIRST QUOTE<br />
On May 23, Qatar woke up to news of a hack attributing false statements to the emir of Qatar.<br />
The fake news was aired on several UAE and Saudi-owned networks in the Gulf, sparking a diplomatic breakdown.<br />
The incident came just two days after President Donald Trump met Gulf Arab leaders in Riyadh.<br />
On May 24, authorities in Saudi Arabia and the UAE also blocked Al Jazeera's website.<br />
SECOND QUOTE<br />
The GCC rift followed US President Donald Trump's visit to Saudi Arabia in May, where he met leaders of the Arab world. The night before Trump's visit, the former US defence secretary, Robert Gates, offered a scathing assault on Qatar, criticising its support for "Islamists".<br />
The speech was delivered at a high-profile Washington conference, where Gates said: "Tell Qatar to choose sides or we will change the nature of the relationship, to include downscaling the base."<br />

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Jazeera_controversies_and_criticism<br />
Since 9/11 U.S. officials have claimed an anti-American bias to Al Jazeera's news coverage.[135][136] The station first gained widespread attention in the West following the September 11, 2001 attacks, when it broadcast videos in which Osama bin Laden and Sulaiman Abu Ghaith defended and justified the attacks. This led to significant controversy and accusations by the United States government that Al Jazeera was engaging in propaganda on behalf of terrorists. Al Jazeera countered that it was merely making information available without comment, and several western television channels later followed suit in broadcasting portions of the tapes. At a press conference on 3 October 2001, Colin Powell tried to persuade the emir of Qatar to shut down Al Jazeera.<br />
