DOHA, Qatar: Qatar on Thursday categorically rejected “false reports published by Israeli media outlets” which alleged that the Gulf country had agreed to participate in military action against Iran, reaffirming its commitment to diplomacy and regional stability.
“The State of Qatar will not allow such misleading allegations to undermine its active diplomatic efforts to bring the conflict to an end,” a statement issued by Qatar’s International Media Office reads.
Qatar’s International Media Office said that these allegations are being circulated by individuals seeking to drag the Gulf state into the conflict, undermine its pivotal mediation role, and push the region toward further escalation and chaos.
“The Office affirms that these allegations have been circulated by individuals seeking to draw the State of Qatar into the conflict, to undermine its pivotal role in mediation, and to push the region towards further escalation and chaos,” the International Media Office’s statement reads.
