Qatar’s foreign minister said Monday his country had never given aid to Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood and that all assistance went to Egypt as a whole.

“As far as Qatar’s support for the Muslim Brotherhood, there are some wrong impressions about the aid Qatar is providing,” said Foreign Minister Khalid ben Mohammad al-Attiya, whose country is perceived as a backer of the embattled Islamist group.

“Qatar has never given aid to an Egyptian group or an Egyptian political party. The aid has always been provided to Egypt.”
