Qatar foreign minister calls for halt to ‘blackmail’ in Strait of Hormuz

Qatar’s Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani has said traffic in the Strait of Hormuz must go back to what it was before the US-Israeli war on Iran, with no party to the conflict “blackmailing” the other. “The consequences of this war were grave, not only on the Gulf region but elsewhere in the world,” Sheikh Mohammed told reporters at a news conference following high-level discussions in El Alamein, Egypt. “We need the situation to go back to what it used to be before,” he said. “We condemn any threats in this regard or any obstacles.” Subscribe to our channel: http://bit.ly/AJSubscribe Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/AJEnglish Find us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/aljazeera Check our website: http://www.aljazeera.com/ Check out our Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/aljazeeraenglish/ Download AJE Mobile App: https://aje.io/AJEMobile #Qatar #Egypt #QatarEgypt #SheikhMohammedbinAbdulrahman #BadrAbdelatty #QatarPrimeMinister #QatarForeignMinister #EgyptDiplomacy #QatarNews #EgyptNews #AlJazeeraEnglish #breakingnews
