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), in breaking 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 Donald Trump? And what does this mean for Israel’s standing in the region and with the United States?
From Trump’s growing ties with Qatar to the threat this poses to the Abraham Accords, this episode exposes how Qatari soft power, Islamist propaganda and U.S. naiveté may be reshaping the Middle East behind the scenes. In this episode:
- Qatar’s alleged manipulation of hostage diplomacy
- Reports of a Trump-Qatar deal and implications for Israel
- Media complicity in spreading Qatari narratives
- How Qatari money infiltrated Western academia and human-rights discourse
Don’t miss this unfiltered roundtable from Jerusalem that connects the dots the media won’t.
