Thousands of social media users across GCC and Arab countries took to Twitter to counter attempts to promote a movement called “Hirak 15 September” against Saudi Arabia aiming to destabilise the kingdom, backed by the Qatari government. GCC officials also tweeted stressing that attempts targeting Saudi Arabia will fail thanks to Saudi citizens’ awareness.
Foreign Minister Shaikh Khalid bin Ahmed Al Khalifa tweeted: Qatar is continuing its attempts to bring down countries, targeting Saudi Arabia today.
“This targeting is hypothetical, false and has nothing to do with reality.
The dogs bark, crows caw and Saudi Arabia caravan moves on spreading welfare and peace,” he tweeted.
