However, US intelligence agencies claim the quotes were posted falsely and deliberately in a state-sponsored hack ordered by the UAE to whip up anger against its smaller Gulf neighbour.
The crisis erupted May 24, when Qatar's emir, Sheikh Tamim Bin Hamad al-Thani, was cited on government and news websites as praising Iran and the radical Palestinian group Hamas.
UAE Ambassador to the US Yousef al-Otaiba also denied the report in a statement, saying it was "false", the Post said.
The UAE, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Egypt responded by blocking Qatari media.
The Guardian reported last month that an investigation by the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) had concluded that freelance Russian hackers were responsible.
The Emirates denied the report.

Autopilot automatically maintains a set speed, slows down and brakes in traffic and keeps the vehicle within a lane. That was the feeling that I was trying to describe to you that I had lost control of the vehicle.
The Post reported that United States intelligence officials learned last week of newly analysed information that showed that senior UAE government officials discussed the planned hacks on May 23, the day before they occurred. The hacking attack happened the following day. The officials were quoted as saying it was unclear if the UAE had hacked the sites itself or paid for them to be hacked.
Some of these individuals and terrorist organizations are linked to al-Qaida, according to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Anwar Gargash on Monday.
Still, the four Arab powers have said the memorandum fell short of allaying their concerns, that their sanctions would remain in place until Doha meets their demands and that they would keep a close eye on Qatar's efforts to fight terrorism funding. Inciting violence, encouraging radicalization, and undermining the stability of its neighbors. A few days later the four states launched their blockade of Qatar.
"We need a regional solution and worldwide monitoring", said Mr Gargash in prepared remarks he was set to deliver in London on Monday.
But its Gulf Arab neighbors and Egypt have always been irked by its support for anti-establishment movements and for the Islamist Muslim Brotherhood that briefly won power in Egypt, which they regard as a political enemy.
"What we really do want is we either reach an agreement and Qatar's behaviour changes, or Qatar makes it own bed and they can move on and we can move with a new relationship".
