ambiguous statement

Officials in Washington and Beijing hammered out a suitably ambiguous statement that allowed both sides to save face and that kept tensions under wraps.

Following the court’s announcement on Thursday, the leaders of Mr. Netanyahu’s coalition issued an ambiguous statement, promising to “correct the injustice” of the ruling but leaving open the possibility that Mr. Deri might still resign.

However, the remark, he added, did not ultimately establish grounds for disqualification because "it is impossible for the Court to conclude from this vague, ambiguous statement that Rep. Greene was complicit in a months-long enterprise to obstruct the peaceful transfer of presidential power without making an enormous unsubstantiated leap."

The ambiguous statement could signal a possible recalibration of its war aims.
