"Qatar will always prioritise people's safety over political or economic gain. It is no surprise that unofficial mouthpieces of [Israeli] Prime Minister Netanyahu are attempting to exploit this period of global instability to sow further tension and division across the region."
"According to Qatar's Ministry of Defence, Iranian drones struck two sites, a water tank at a power plant in Mesaieed Industrial City and an energy facility in Ras Laffan belonging to QatarEnergy, the world's largest LNG producer."
"Segal's claims attempted to drive a wedge between the US and Qatar by alleging that Qatar's decision to halt energy production was a calculated political move. These allegations are the latest in a pattern of false reports made by Segal in recent days."
Qatar rejected accusations from Israeli media that it deliberately halted LNG production to manipulate US energy prices following Iranian drone attacks on QatarEnergy facilities. A senior Qatari official stated that Qatar prioritizes people's safety over political or economic considerations. The official attributed the allegations to Netanyahu's media allies attempting to create division between Qatar and the US. QatarEnergy suspended production after Iranian drones struck facilities in Mesaieed Industrial City and Ras Laffan. Qatar supplies 20 percent of global LNG. Israeli political analyst Amit Segal claimed the halt signaled Iran-Qatar coordination to pressure an end to regional conflict, allegations the Qatari official characterized as part of a pattern of false reports.
