Israel To Set Up Temporary Office In Doha For 2022 World Cup

JAKARTA - Israel, and Qatar held diplomatic negotiations to set up temporary offices in Doha for the 2022 World Cup.

According to an Israeli official quoted by Ynet, the matter is being discussed, and he believes a solution will be reached before the match begins.

The office's mission is to provide consular support to tens of thousands of Israelis who are expected to attend the World Cup matches between November 20 and December 18.

According to the official, Qatar is concerned about the potential reopening of Israel's official liaison office, which closed in 2008 following a series of violence in the Gaza Strip.

Although Israel has no diplomatic ties with Qatar, the two countries have close security ties.

The Mossad representative often visited Qatar primarily to coordinate the delivery of aid from the country to Gaza.
