Qatar: Iran’s claim that Doha is holding missing pilots is a ‘media ploy’
Qatar says Iran’s claim it is holding missing aircrew is untrue and a “media ploy”, with Tehran yet to verify it.
On Tuesday, Qatar's Foreign Ministry Spokesperson, Dr. Majed bin Mohammed Al-Ansari, addressed the press to discuss the country's approach to current regional tensions. Dr. Al-Ansari emphasized Qatar's commitment to de-escalating conflicts and restoring the ceasefire, while stressing the importance of the Strait of Hormuz being opened to ensure freedom of navigation.
The spokesperson reiterated that diplomacy and dialogue are the primary means of resolving disputes and differences. Qatar remains dedicated to seeking a diplomatic resolution to the crisis, aiming to bring parties back to the negotiating table.
Dr. Al-Ansari affirmed Qatar's dedication to safeguarding its nation, territory, and sovereignty, alongside promoting good-neighborly relations grounded in respect for sovereignty and collaborative efforts to address disputes.
The Gulf region's coordination is ongoing to address potential fallout from the crisis and to work together in preventing further escalation, while enhancing the security and stability of the area.
Qatar underlines the necessity of implementing the second phase of the ceasefire agreement in Gaza, as outlined in the plan proposed by President Donald Trump, the President of the United States, particularly due to the Israeli side's continued unwillingness to adhere to the agreed-upon terms.
