Qatar has rejected and denounced a report that it tried to undermine the security and stability of Bahrain.
The allegation was made in a broadcast by Bahrain’s official TV  in the form of a  phone call between HE Hamad bin Khalifa al-Attiyah, Special Adviser to HH the Emir, and Hassen Ali Mohamed Jumaa of Al Wefaq Society, Bahrain.
“That call was made as part of the then Qatari mediation and the TV deliberately presented it as a support by Qatar to the Al Wefaq Society and a direct interference in  Bahrain’s internal affairs in a naive and blatant attempt to misrepresent and twist facts and take them out of their proper context,” Qatar News Agency said, quoting a statement released by the Foreign Ministry.
The statement said the contacts were held as part of the mediation efforts undertaken by Qatar after the demonstrations that took place in Bahrain in 2011 with the consent and knowledge of Bahrain. “The Prime Minister and Foreign Minister HE Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim bin Jabor al-Thani in the presence of the late Minister of Foreign Affairs of Saudi Arabia Prince Saud al-Faisal had visited Bahrain  and briefed  the king on all the efforts of Qatar in this regard. The Qatari mediation was suspended after a decision to intervene militarily to break the demonstrations and sit-ins.”
The statement added that what confirms that Bahrain is aware of these contacts is that standard telephones in Bahrain were used and that Bahrain did not raise this issue as a point of disagreement over the past years, especially during the crisis of withdrawal of ambassadors in 2014.
The statement stressed  this as the best evidence of the continuing unfortunate disarray of the fabrication of charges. The statement wondered why these contacts were not released in 2011 in the same way they were announced now.
“Taking a part or a little of the phone call and broadcasting it in these controversial circumstances and current tensions provides compelling evidence of targeting the State of Qatar and attempting to impute charges to it. It is also a disavowal of its efforts aimed at ending the unrest and enhancing the security and stability of Bahrain.”
Affirming Qatar’s continued and permanent commitment to all the principles laid down by the GCC, the statement said Qatar’s policy is based on the principles of good neighbourliness and non-interference in the internal affairs of all countries. 
Stressing the importance of easing the Gulf crisis, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu has sought evidence to the accusations and allegations against Qatar of supporting terrorism.
“Qatar wants to see that, Kuwait, which is mediating, wants this and we too,” he said.
In a statement after a visit to Saudi Arabia, the Turkish Foreign Minister said that he had presented during his visit his country’s vision and ideas to resolve the crisis.
Meanwhile, Qatar Charity (QC), which has been accused of supporting militant groups, has revealed that it has signed 93 agreements with United Nations agencies, humanitarian organisations and international and regional donors.
Through these partnerships, charity work worth  $126.3mn has been carried out, the agency said.
In a show of support, demonstrators gathered outside the UAE embassy in London yesterday to protest against an ongoing embargo of Qatar by the UAE, Saudi Arabia and others. 
The protesters denounced the land, air and sea blockade imposed on Qatar by its Gulf neighbours amid the region’s worst diplomatic crisis in years, Al Jazeera said.
A spokesman for the demonstrators called the embargo a human rights violation and urged the Gulf states to negotiate a peaceful solution to the dispute.
“The blockade on Qatar contravenes international law,” read one placard held by the protesters outside the UAE embassy. “We have to say to [US President Donald] Trump, we have to say to the government of Saudi Arabia and to the Emiratis that you will not be successful,” a demonstrator said.
Protesters also gathered in Paris to call for the lifting of a land, air and sea blockade imposed by Gulf states on Qatar, according to Al Jazeera.
The demonstrators at Place de la Republique said the blockade was a flagrant violation of human rights and amounted to collective punishment.
The protest came after Ali bin Smaikh al-Marri, chairman of Qatar’s National Human Rights Committee (NHRC), called on the UN Human Rights Council to condemn the blockade as it infringes upon the rights of more than 13,000 citizens of the Arab countries involved.
