Qatar rejects Iran’s missile strike explanation

Qatar has firmly rejected Iran’s explanation for recent missile strikes on its territory, insisting that the attacks hit civilian areas and key infrastructure, not just American interests as Tehran claims.

Qatar Says Israel Should Have Already Ceased Fire

Qatar has stated that Israel should have already implemented a ceasefire in Gaza, in line with the US-backed peace plan proposed by President Donald Trump. A spokesperson for Qatar's foreign ministry, Majed al-Ansari, said on Tuesday that the question of a ceasefire should be directed at Israel.
