The Qatari foreign minister ruled out the possibility of normalizing relations with the Zionist regime in an interview on Wednesday (February 2nd).
In an interview with Axius at the Qatari embassy in Washington, Qatari Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdul Rahman Al Thani said that in the absence of a “real commitment to a two-state solution”, there was no prospect of the country joining the “Ibrahim Accords”.
According to Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, the Emir of Qatar was the first leader of a Persian Gulf country to meet with US President Joe Biden at the White House.
Biden announced at the White House, sitting next to the Emir of Qatar, that the United States would identify Qatar as one of 17 countries known as “major non-NATO allies.” Qatar’s inclusion on the list will give Qatar special privileges in the areas of defense, trade and security cooperation.
The Qatari foreign minister stated in part of the interview that his country is trying to pave the way for the success of the Vienna talks on Iran’s nuclear program.
The Qatari foreign minister said that his country had lost hope of reviving relations with Israel after the Gaza war in 2008 and 2009. He said Qatar had maintained its “working relationship” to help the Palestinian people, but that there was no prospect of joining the Ibrahim agreement in the absence of a real commitment to a two-state solution.
