Qatar is experiencing its greatest crisis since the emirate received its independence in 1971. The country is currently facing a blockade from Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Yemen and the Maldives.
The crisis stems from fake news. Two weeks ago the rich, tiny petro-state of Qatar was the victim of a cyberattack in which hackers altered official government press releases to make it appear that ruling emir Sheikh Tamim Bin Hamad Al Thani was quoted making anti-Trump and anti-Israel statements, as well as apparent declarations in support of terrorist groups like Hamas and Hezbollah.
