Qatari Influence on Trump's Gaza Ceasefire Push
Trump's stance on Gaza shifted after Israel's attack on Qatar, a close ally with significant business ties to him and his family.
Initially, Trump showed little interest in the suffering of Palestinians during Israel's war on Gaza. In fact, before his reelection, he used the term "Palestinian" as a slur to insult then-President Joe Biden on the debate stage.
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 position changed, and he began pushing for a ceasefire in Gaza. This shift has raised questions about the motivations behind his actions.
- Trump and his family have key business deals in Qatar.
- The US also has significant ties with Qatar, a Gulf state ally.
Author's summary: Trump's push for Gaza ceasefire may have been driven by Qatari influence.
