Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani said Qatar was attacked by Israel while it was engaged in mediation efforts, according to remarks carried by Mehr News.
Al Thani said the strike occurred while Doha was working to advance a proposal associated with former U.S. President Donald Trump, though the reported remarks did not include further detail on the timing or circumstances of the strike.
Qatar's mediating role
Qatar has previously served as a regional mediator in negotiations connected to Middle East conflicts, often hosting indirect talks involving Israel and other parties. Al Thani's comments frame the reported strike as a direct interruption of that mediating role.
The remarks were carried by Mehr News, an Iranian outlet, and it was not immediately clear from the report whether Israeli officials had responded to the Qatari prime minister's characterization of the incident.
Further details about the strike, including when it occurred and what damage or casualties, if any, resulted, were not included in the available reporting, nor was the current status of the mediation effort Al Thani referenced.
