Did Qatari Money Drive Trump’s Push for Gaza Ceasefire?

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 ties.

Trump used the word "Palestinian" as a slur to insult then-President Joe Biden on the debate stage.

Initially, Trump showed little concern for Palestinian suffering during Israel's war on Gaza. However, his tone changed after Qatar was affected.

In February, Trump proposed redeveloping Gaza into a "Middle East Riviera" after the removal of all Palestinians.

Author's summary: Trump's push for a Gaza ceasefire may be linked to his business ties with Qatar.
