Qatari Influence on Trump's Gaza Ceasefire Push
President Donald Trump's sudden interest in a Gaza ceasefire has raised questions about his motivations.
Trump's stance on Gaza shifted after Israel's attack on Qatar, a close ally where he and his family have significant business deals.
Trump used the word "Palestinian" as a slur to insult then-President Joe Biden on the debate stage.
Initially, Trump showed little interest in the suffering of Palestinians, but his position changed after Qatar was affected.
- Trump has key business deals in Qatar.
- His family and friends also have significant ties to the Gulf state.
- The U.S. has increasingly significant ties to Qatar as well.
In February, Trump called for the removal of all Palestinians from Gaza to redevelop it into a "Middle East Riviera."
Author's summary: Trump's Gaza ceasefire push may be driven by Qatari money and business ties.
