The 13-point list also insists that Qatar limits its relations with Iran, immediately shuts down a Turkish military base and halts military co-operation with Ankara.
The four Arab nations called on Qatar to sever ties with the Muslim Brotherhood, ISIS, al Qaeda, Hezbollah and Jabhat Fateh al Sham.
The Reuters news agency reported that Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Egypt had given Qatar 10 days to comply with the list, citing an official from one of those four countries.
"These requirements must be met within 10 days from the date of delivery or they will be considered void", the Arab states said in their list of demands.
"Qatar leaking demands and concerns of its neighbors & Egypt either attempt to undermine serious mediation or yet another sign of callous policy", wrote Gargash in a string of tweets on his official account. However, it remains a key patron of the Islamic Hamas movement, which rules the Gaza Strip, and is also seen to support the Muslim Brotherhood, a Sunni political group that is opposed to monarchical rule, as is practiced in many nations of the Middle East.
The list also demands that Qatar stop funding a host of other news outlets including Arabi21, Al-Araby Al-Jadeed and Middle East Eye.

The list was handed to the Qatari government by Kuwait, which is mediating the dispute between the nations.
Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani said recently that his country would rely on other countries if the blockade continues.
"The demands are so aggressive that it makes it close to impossible to now see a resolution of that conflict", said Olivier Jakob, a strategist at Switzerland-based oil consultancy Petromatrix.
However, the demands meted out by the top Gulf countries are nowhere near reasonable.
As well as cutting diplomatic ties, Qatar's neighbours closed their air space to Qatari carriers and blocked the small but gas-rich emirate's only land border, vital for its food imports.
The list of demands, which was presented on Friday by mediator Kuwait, states conditions that would align Qatar more closely with the goals of Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Arabia and its allies presented Qatar with a list of steep demands to end the crisis that has roiled the Gulf for nearly three weeks, as diplomats predicted the tiny Gulf state would likely refuse to comply.
