Trump, Qatar, and Israel: Diplomatic Drama or Reality TV Reboot?
This Friday promises a diplomatic soap opera in New York as President Trump plans a meet-up with Qatar's Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al-Thani—yes, all four names, because why not—amid Israel's recent Hamas strike in Doha. Just Thursday, al-Thani had the UN Security Council chatting after condemning the Israeli move and bragging about Qatar's 'humanitarian and diplomatic role' in Gaza hostage drama since October 7 attacks. Meanwhile, Secretary of State Rubio and possibly Vice President JD Vance will squeeze in their own meetings. Trump, showing his trademark 'make deals great again' flair, has ordered talks to speed up a US-Qatar security pact, leveraging the fun timing of Iranian and Israeli strikes near US bases and Qatar’s borders. At press time, the White House prefers cryptic silence, leaving everyone guessing if Steve Witkoff’s inclusion means this is more negotiation or just a bizarre cameo.
