Why governments feel they need to hide their involvement? What they are scared of?

For the EU my speculation would be Qatar. They have taken over for the loss of Russian natural gas with their large LNG exports. Qatar also seeks to mediate a lot of the issues see them housing Hamas & their agenda setting with their state-funded Al Jazeera. After that they probably don't want to risk having their flagged vessels subject to a swarm of drones like US & UK endured.
