Qatar says focus should be on ending fighting, not Strait of Hormuz Qatar has urged efforts to prioritise ending the fighting rather than rushing to resolve tensions around the Strait of Hormuz. Majed al Ansari said it is “still too early” to focus on a solution for the waterway, stressing the need to halt the conflict first. He said the strait has historically remained stable and argued the focus should shift to “sustainable security” and the “safety of navigation”.
