How Qatar Is Buying Influence in the U.S. – And Undermining Israel
About this episode
We’re shining light on Qatar’s shadowy influence over U.S. foreign policy and the release of Israeli-American hostage Edan Alexander in this episode of “The Quad!”
Join Israeli innovation envoy Fleur Hassan-Nahoum and co-hosts Emily Schrader (journalist and human rights activist), Shoshanna Keats-Jaskoll (founder of Chochmat Nashim), and Ateret Shmuel (founder of Indigenous Bridges) to break down one of the most controversial and least discussed stories of the war.
Was Alexander's return a humanitarian gesture or a calculated move by Qatar, the host of Hamas leadership, to buy influence in Washington? Why did reports emerge of a $400 million private jet gift to President Trump? And what does this mean for Israel’s standing in the region and with the United States?
