@middleeasteye: In this opinion video, Soumaya Ghannoushi — a writer and expert on Middle East politics — examines US President Donald Trump’s tour of Riyadh, Abu Dhabi, and Doha, arguing that it is not diplomacy, but “theatre—staged in gold and fuelled by greed. ”She contends that while a US president openly arming a genocide is welcomed with red carpets, handshakes, and blank cheques, Gaza continues to burn. Ghannoushi questions the Gulf regimes' failure to pressure Trump to halt the slaughter in Gaza or ease the siege — despite their wealth, influence, and despite them “having the ear” of the US president

what I don't understand is the government of Qatar gifting America with 400 million dollars worth of air plane while their Muslim brothers and sisters in Gaza starving to death

The value of the gift of the plane would have been enough to provide food shelter and clothing for Gaza
