Qatar has rejected claims in sections of Israeli media that it had stopped its LNG production to affect energy prices in the US, calling such accusations an attempt to “drive a wedge” between Qatar and the US.

In a statement on Thursday, a senior Qatari official told Al Jazeera that “Qatar will always prioritise people’s safety over political or economic gain.”
