Qatari Influence on Trump's Gaza Ceasefire Push
President Donald Trump's sudden interest in a Gaza ceasefire has sparked speculation about his motives. While his desire for a Nobel Peace Prize is well-known, his close ties to Qatar, a Gulf state ally, may have played a significant role.
Trump's relationship with Qatar, where he and his family have significant business deals, has been increasingly important. After Israel's attack on Qatar, Trump's stance on Gaza shifted, raising questions about the influence of Qatari money on his policies.
Trump used the word "Palestinian" as a slur to insult then-President Joe Biden on the debate stage.
Initially, Trump showed little concern for the suffering of Palestinians during Israel's war on Gaza. However, in February, he called for the removal of all Palestinians from Gaza to redevelop it into a "Middle East Riviera" amid a U.S.-brokered ceasefire.
