President Donald Trump's sudden interest in a Gaza ceasefire has raised questions about his motivations.
Trump's stance on Gaza shifted after Israel's attack on Qatar, a close ally where he and his family have significant business deals.

Author's summary: Trump's push for Gaza ceasefire may be linked to Qatari ties.
