JUST IN: QATAR INTERNATIONAL MEDIA OFFICE:
“The International Media Office expresses the State of Qatar's categorical rejection of the false reports published by Israeli media outlets, which claimed Qatar's agreement to participate in military action against the Islamic Republic of Iran.
The Office affirms that the circulation of these claims has been carried out by individuals seeking to drag the State of Qatar into conflict, undermine its pivotal mediation role, and push the region towards further escalation and chaos. In this context, it notes that Qatari officials have repeatedly affirmed since the beginning of the conflict that the State of Qatar has not and will not participate in any military action against any of its neighboring countries.
The Office also stresses that the State of Qatar will not allow such misleading claims to undermine its ongoing diplomatic efforts to end the conflict, as it will continue its good offices in coordination with its regional and international partners to reach a comprehensive and sustainable agreement that addresses the concerns of all concerned parties.”
