Asked whether the Prime Minister was concerned the competition would be held in Russia and Qatar, the PMS said that the Prime Minister had not expressed a view and would congratulate those countries.
Asked whether the Prime Minister thought Qatar now ought to recognise the state of Israel, the PMS said that 2022 was some way off, that this Government’s views on Israel were well known and that the Prime Minister would be congratulating Qatar on their successful bid.
