Draft statement by France and UK supporting Qatar without naming Israel

France and the United Kingdom have issued a joint statement expressing their support for Qatar following the recent attacks, but have stopped short of directly naming Israel as responsible.

Diplomatic sources said the statement reaffirmed support for Qatar’s security and stability, calling for restraint to prevent another regional crisis. The two governments are expected to issue the statement in cooperation with European and international partners.

This move reflects a balancing act by Paris and London, as they show support for Qatar while avoiding direct confrontation with Israel, a key ally in the Middle East.
