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. He even used the word "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 stance changed, and he began pushing for a ceasefire in Gaza.
Author's summary: Trump's push for Gaza ceasefire may be linked to Qatari ties.
