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.
Before his reelection, Trump showed little interest in the suffering of Palestinians, but later called for their removal from Gaza to redevelop it into a "Middle East Riviera."
- Trump's relationship with Qatar is significant, with the US and his family having key business deals in the Gulf state.
- The notion that Trump's push for a ceasefire was motivated by a desire to win a Nobel Peace Prize is well-documented.
Author's summary: Trump's Gaza ceasefire push may be linked to Qatari ties.
