The Jerusalem Post newspaper reported on Tuesday, November 19, citing diplomatic sources, that the Prime Minister of Qatar, Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani, announced during a meeting with the Group of Seven Foreign Ministers in Paris that Doha needed at least two weeks to try to reach an understanding between the US and Iran through diplomacy and prevent a possible attack by Washington.
After a meeting with US President Donald Trump and Vice President J. Di Vance at the White House, the Prime Minister of Qatar met with the foreign ministers of the Group of Seven and with his Saudi counterpart in Paris.
According to the Jerusalem Post, al-Thani said at that meeting that important differences between Washington and Tehran still exist and a number of key issues remain unresolved, including the timing of the implementation of a possible agreement.
According to him, "there are differences of opinion regarding the order in which the steps will be taken, including the lifting of the naval blockade, the nuclear issue and the release of Iran's blocked assets."
The Qatari prime minister also stressed the need to rebuild trust between Washington and Tehran so that both sides return to the negotiating table.
