Qatar’s foreign ministry spokesperson Majed Al-Ansari says mediators’ “focus right now is on avoiding escalation, reopening the strait and reopening the door for diplomacy between the parties”, Al Jazeera reports.
“What we do not want to see right now is a major escalation in our region,” he tells reporters during a news conference. “We are working very closely with our partners in the region and with the parties of the conflict to reach a diplomatic resolution.”
