Qatari Influence on Trump's Gaza Ceasefire Push
President Donald Trump's sudden interest in a Gaza ceasefire has raised questions about his motivations.
One possible factor is his close relationship with Qatar, a Gulf state ally with significant ties to Trump, his family, and the US.
Before his reelection, Trump showed little concern for Palestinian suffering, even using the term "Palestinian" as a slur to insult then-President Joe Biden.
Trump called for the removal of all Palestinians from Gaza to redevelop it into a "Middle East Riviera"
This shift in stance occurred after Israel's attack on Qatar, where Trump and his family have key business deals.
The notion that Trump's push for a ceasefire was motivated by his desire to win a Nobel Peace Prize is well-documented, but his connection to Qatar is less discussed.
