Haaretz: The Hidden Costs of the Trump-Qatar Relationship.
Haaretz reported in an article published on its website on Saturday that Donald Trump’s family has found a thriving business since he entered the White House, and that the US president is now focused on personal interests, money, and power, and has found partners far more attractive than Israel.

Trump’s meeting with the North Korean leader grows stronger
According to Nathaniel Shlomowitz, on the sidelines of the summit in Sharm el-Sheik, Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto spoke briefly with Donald Trump, without realizing he was standing in front of an open microphone.
Subianto seemed worried and told the US president, “The area is not safe, we will look for a better place.” Trump replied, “I will tell Eric to call you. He is a talkative boy; he will call you.”
Since their father’s re-election as president, brothers Donald Jr. and Eric Trump have been the main figures in the family business. Trump insists he has no connection to the company and none of his sons’ dealings are related to his tenure in the White House.
However, since January 20, Eric Trump has signed an unprecedented number of deals around the world as corrupt governments seek to curry favor with the patriarch.
Indonesia opened a Trump golf club this year and has since signed another deal to develop a Trump hotel on the island of Bali. The location is likely to change, according to a conversation in Sharm el-Sheik.
Elsewhere in this article, Trump praised his close friendship with the Israeli people, with whom he had expressed sympathy, and also gave a glimpse into his own mindset.
While most attention was focused on the fluid and chaotic flow of thought and the plea for clemency for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, it is worth considering the rest of the speech. For example, he praised the agreement that was reached thanks to “a new coalition of responsible countries, through which the enemies of civilization are retreating.”
In other words, Trump abandoned the special status that American presidents had given to Israel.
No more speeches like those of Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Joe Biden about shared values.
In the end, Trump, too, is abandoning the values of democracy in his own country and dividing the world based on interests, money, and power.
