UAE FM Dr. Anwar Gargash
Al Jazeera has been publishing articles about increasing ties between Israel and Gulf countries like Saudi Arabia and the UAE, and apparently this is now irking officials there.

Dr. Anwar Gargash, UAE Minister of Foreign Affairs, tweeted "Strange Qatar: its media and its friends publish and promote rumors about its neighbors normalizing relations with Israel while its own contacts [with Israel] are documented and ongoing, most recently a series of contacts with Tel Aviv on Gaza. Fake news and partisan blindness are exposed."

The funny thing is that they are both right. Qatar is the only Arab country that seems to actually want to help Gaza and they have not been bashful about cooperating with Israel to bring in aid to the sector, something Israel welcomes but other Arab states have avoided because they don't want to be seen as cooperating with the hated Zionist entity.

And there have been increasing, albeit unofficial, talks between Israel and the other Arab Gulf states, with Iran being often the focus. Qatar, which wants to maintain ties with Iran, has been the target of other Arab attacks, and that is what is behind this kerfuffle over which Arab country is more cooperative with Israel.

This Qatari responded to Gargash's tweet with a video showing supposed cooperation between Israel and the UAE:

A Kuwaiti responded with rumors that Qatar is the #3 investor in Israel behind the US and Britain, and that Qatar helped Israel assassinate some Hamas leaders.

The thread goes on from there with each side accusing the other of being more Zionist.

It is quite amusing.
