Blinken denies telling Qatari emir to delay efforts for rapid Israel-Hamas hostage deal
Blinken called a conversation between him and Qatari Emir al-Thani a "complete fiction" after Haaretz claimed that he told the emir to wait to make a deal between Israel and Hamas.
Former secretary of state Antony Blinken outright denied on Wednesday that he told Qatar to wait to broker a deal between Hamas and Israel, as was attributed to him in a Tuesday Haaretz article.
Haaretz reported on Tuesday that UAE President Mohammed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan (MBZ) warned Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that Hamas was planning a major operation against Israel days before the October 7 massacre.
Since then, Netanyahu has denied the report and has threatened to sue the left-leaning Israeli daily.
