The Prime Minister of Qatar, Mohammed bin Abdulraham Al-Thani, said his country “does not have a war with Israel”, Israeli media outlets have reported.
The Gulf state leader made the comments following a speech in Singapore on Friday but while speculation is in the air that a Saudi-Israel accord is on the cards, he said that Qatar had not hear anything “officially” about any talks.
Qatar is part the Gulf Co-operation Council, whose members Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates established diplomatic ties with Israel with the Abraham Accords three years ago.
Although Qatar does not have diplomatic links with Israel, it allowed Israeli soccer fans to fly from Tel Aviv for the World Cup it hosted last year.
