Israeli regime and Qatar have reportedly failed to reach an agreement in secret talks for opening Israeli consular office in Doha to facilitate arrival of Israeli football fans to the World Cup 2022.

Israel's i24News channel said talks collapsed ahead of a planned phone call between Israeli Foreign Minister and interim Prime Minister Yair Lapid and his Qatari counterpart Sheikh Mohammed Bin Abdulrahman Al Thani over Lapid's insistence on making the call public, which Qatar has strongly rejected.

The planned phone call between Lapid and Al Thani was considered a preliminary conversation ahead of a future phone call between Lapid and the Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim Bin Hamad Al Thani.

Israel hoped the office would continue operating in Qatar as a permanent presence in the Persian Gulf state.

Last June, Tel Aviv announced that its citizens would be able to attend the FIFA World Cup and hoped the move would lead to establishing diplomatic relations between Tel Aviv and Doha.

Qatar will host the FIFA World Cup tournament between 21 November and 18 December, with the participation of 32 teams. In doing so, it will become the first Arab and Middle Eastern country to organize such a global sporting event.
