France Suspends Sales of 36 Rafale Fighters Jets to Qatar
KABUL: (Middle East Press) According to reports, the French ambassador in Cairo has informed the Egyptian officials that Paris will delay the delivery of 36 Rafale jets to Qatar until the end of 2020 due to Doha’s unwavering support for fanatical Islamic rebels in war-torn Syria.
Mr. Nicolas Galey, the French ambassador in Cairo, has purportedly told Egyptian foreign minister that Paris fears that Qatar – as one of the primary supporters of Muslin Brotherhood– might help Al Qaeda-affiliated groups with French-made military weaponry.
