The US -As deepening relationship this week draws fresh supervision as president Donald Trump The Middle East began in the middle of a report that he could accept a free jet from Qatari royal family to replace his current plane as an aviation.
The odds drew double -sided returnWhat Trump met with indifference.
“Qatar is not, in my opinion, a great ally. I mean, support Hamas. So what worries me is the safety of the president,” Senator Rick Scott, R-FLA, reporters, said on Tuesday.

“[The Qataris] He told me, “We would like, in fact, want to make a gift. You did so many things. And we would like to give you a gift to the Ministry of Defense,” where he goes. And I said, “Well, that’s nice.” Some people say, “Oh, you should not accept gifts for the land.” My attitude is, why not accept the gift? We give everyone else, why not accept the gift? “, Trump explained Fox News’ Sean Hannity on Tuesdsay.
American relations with Doha have long since crossed in 2017, when Trump accused Qatar of terrorism: “The Katar nation, unfortunately, has historically been a means of terrorism at a very high level,” Trump said at the time.
From there, Qatar became the main ally that was not in 2022 under the President of Biden and is the home of the Air Base Al Udeid, one of the largest American bases in the Middle East and a key center for US central command operations.
Qatar was at the helm of negotiations of peace and hostages, especially in the war between Israel and Hamas. The Israeli delegation traveled to Doha on Tuesday to draw a potential agreement on hostages and interruption of fire in the gaza belt.
“Qatar is a necessary safety and energy partner of the United States. It is a strategic partnership that has become stronger and more expansive over time,” for the Fox News Embassy, Ali Al-Assari, Media Attaché in the Qatar Embassy, for Fox News Digital. “His Highness Amir and President Trump have a long -standing relationship over many years, and both leaders have common goals of peace, security and stability.”
“Katar cooperates closely with the president and his team to improve these common goals, whether in Gaza, Ukraine, Kong or other areas of instability.”

In March, the weeks of negotiations were led by the Qatar’s intermediaries to release American George Girzmannwho closed the Taliban in Afghanistan for over two years. Doha negotiators were also involved in the US-HAMA contract to publish the last American hostage on Monday, Edan Alexander, Monday.
“They are very smart in that they seem useful,” said Michael Makovsky, Executive Director of the Jewish Institute of National Security of America.
The Trump organization has concluded a new contract for the construction of a luxury golf course in Qatar, in partnership with Qatar Diar, a real estate company supported by the sovereign fund of the wealth of that country.
“Their financial relationships with people in Trump’s orbit, seeming useful as our mediators, communicating this strategic, the catarrhs were very effective in becoming important,” Makovsky added.
And despite the relatively small population – less than 3 million – Katar controls over 10% of the world’s natural gas reserves.

“They have a huge impact as a result of the money they spend,” said Jonathan Shanzer, Executive Director of the Democracy Defense Foundation.
Energy Secretary Chris Wright praised Katar as a “respected energy partner”-a second of the largest liquid natural gas manufacturer in the world. “I look forward to being based on this new era of relations with American Qatari together,” he said. Messenger Steve Witkoff Katar praised as a respected partner in negotiations.
Senator Roger Marshall, R-Kans., Joined Trump’s officials in the defense of Qatar during a hearing in Senate at anti-Semitism in the campus.
As the witness described the links between Qatar who donated billions of universities and anti -Semitic protests, Marshall replied: “Qatar was a great ally to America. So, I don’t know why you attack them.”

“The Cathars have sponsored a wide range of terrorist groups for decades,” Shanzer said. “It was a two -party decision to blind up the problem.”
Israel Supporters have long accused Qatar of financing hamas. Prior to the outbreak of the war after October 20, 2023, Doha sent millions of dollars a month for years to Gaza’s belt to support Hamas’s control structure.
They also spent billions in the United States, including an aggressive watering surgery in Washington.
“We have seen them invest billions of dollars in higher education. We know they invest in K-12 education in this country,” Sahanzer said. “They buy plots of valuable real estate. They spend huge amounts of money in countries such as Texas and South Carolina, where you have the defense industry and the energy industry.”
“In the last two decades or so, they have spent a lot of money, spent a lot of effort, and now pays for dividends.”
