Qatari Influence on Trump's Gaza Ceasefire Push
President Donald Trump's sudden interest in a Gaza ceasefire has raised questions about his motivations, with some speculating that his close ties to Qatar may have played a role.
Trump's relationship with Qatar, a Gulf state ally with significant business deals involving him and his family, has been particularly notable. Prior to his push for a ceasefire, Trump showed little concern for the suffering of Palestinians, even using the term "Palestinian" as a slur during a debate with then-President Joe Biden.
Trump called for the removal of all Palestinians from Gaza to redevelop it into a "Middle East Riviera."
However, after Israel's attack on Qatar, Trump's stance on Gaza shifted, leading to speculation about the driving forces behind his change of heart.
Autor's resume: Trump's Qatari ties may have driven his Gaza ceasefire push.
