Qatar’s ‘Palace in the Sky’ jet is NOT a ‘free gift’ — and Trump shouldn’t accept it as one

 

What is President Donald Trump thinking? He’s bragging of winning a $400 million “gift” — a “palace in the sky” Boeing 747-8 jet — from Qatar that, in effect, he’ll eventually own personally.

Sorry, this “gift” is far from free; Qatar will surely expect something in return.

And the optics are beyond awful, especially as Congress mulls hundreds of billions in Medicaid cuts.

“The fact that the Defense Department is getting a GIFT, FREE OF CHARGE . . . so bothers the Crooked Democrats that they insist we pay, TOP DOLLAR, for the plane.” Trump posted on social media.

Yes, Qatar’s opulently decked-out 747 would be transferred first to the Defense Department and used as Air Force One when needed, while Boeing completes work on replacements for the two 30-plus-year-old jets now in service.

It may be OK for Qatar to temporarily lend a plane to America for fill-in use.

But the plan calls for the jet to be donated later to Trump’s presidential library, arguably making him its personal owner.

That not only looks bad; it creates all kinds of conflicts of interest and runs smack into the Constitution’s Emoluments Clause, which prohibits foreign gifts.

Trump may claim it’s just a “nice gesture” from friends; after all, he, his family and his pal and Middle East point man Steve Witkoff enjoy good relations with the Qataris.

Eric Trump signed a $5.5 billion deal with a Qatari company to build a golf club and villas 40 miles north of Doha (it’s expected to net millions for the Trump clan); Qatar spent $643 million in a leveraged buyout to bail out Witkoff and his partners in a New York hotel project.

But again, Qatar is famous for seeking to buy influence.

And it’s not just Qatar: Trump and his family have also been pushing their crypto projects, $TRUMP meme coin and World Financial Liberty, attracting a range of foreign buyers who may be seeking access.

It seems déjà vu Biden corruption all over again.

And in the case of the jet, as Dan Raviv notes, Qatar isn’t truly a friend but a “frenemy.”

Though it lets the United States maintain an air base in Qatar and mediates Israel-Hamas cease-fire talks, it also cooperates with Iran, funds Hamas and hosts its leaders, spreads anti-US and antisemitic hatred via Al Jazeera and buys influence at US college campuses that (surprise!) promote terrorism.

Reports suggest Hamas’ last US hostage, Edan Alexander, whom it released Monday, may fly to Qatar to meet Trump while he’s there this week.

That would perfectly reflect America’s complicated relationship with Doha: While his freedom is terrific news, it may push Trump to pressure Israel for a permanent cease-fire that allows Hamas to survive and remain in Gaza.

Team Trump claims the president’s actions are all meant to benefit the nation, but given all the foreign investments and conflicts of interest — and now a $400 million plane — they seem designed to benefit the president more than anything.

Trump should think twice before accepting this deal.

Argentina uncovers Nazi propaganda cache hidden for decades

 



The Supreme Court of Argentina discovered over 80 boxes of material from the Nazis in its basement last Friday, prompting court officials to work with local Jewish organizations to review their contents.

The boxes were sent in 1941 from the embassy of Nazi Germany in Tokyo to German diplomats in Argentina. Their contents include Nazi postcards, photographs and propaganda material, which, the court said in a statement Monday, were “intended to consolidate and propagate Adolf Hitler’s ideology in Argentina.”

After the shipment came to Argentina, Argentine authorities feared the contents could affect Argentina’s neutrality at the time in World War II, and the boxes were referred to the Supreme Court.

It is unclear what action the court may have taken at the time, but the trove of material will now be reviewed in collaboration with the Association of Jewish Lawyers of the Argentine Republic and the local Holocaust Memorial Foundation.

The Supreme Court said the objective of the review is to discern “whether the material contains crucial information about the Holocaust and whether the clues found can shed light on still-unknown aspects, such as the global Nazi money trail.”

The discovery follows the declassification earlier this month by the Argentine government of more than 1,800 files on Nazi escape via “rat-lines” to South America. Argentine President Javier Milei ordered the declassification of the documents after a meeting with leaders from the Simon Wiesenthal Center.

'Journalist' who documented October 7th eliminated in Khan Yunis

 



 The IDF early Tuesday morning precisely struck significant Hamas terrorists who were operating from within a command-and-control center located in the “Nasser” hospital in Khan Yunis.

The IDF Spokesperson’s Unit said that the compound was used by the terrorists to plan and execute terrorist attacks against Israeli civilians and IDF troops.

The successor of the head of the Hamas government in the Gaza Strip and head of Hamas' finances and institutions, Ismail Barhoum, who was eliminated in a precise strike this past March, operated from within the Nasser hospital, the IDF said.

“Senior Hamas officials continue to use the hospital for terrorist activity, through cynical and brutal use of the civilian population in the hospital and its surroundings,” the IDF statement said.

It noted that prior to the strike, numerous steps were taken to minimize the risk of harming civilians, including the use of precise munitions, aerial surveillance, and additional intelligence.

“The IDF and ISA will continue to operate against the Hamas terrorist organization in order to protect the civilians of the State of Israel,” said the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit.

Palestinian Arab media reported that Gazan "journalist" Hassan Aslih was eliminated in the Khan Yunis strike. Aslih, who operated on October 7 under the guise of a media worker, broadcast live images of a burning tank near the border fence.

Now that Hassan Esliah — the most famous journalist in Gaza — has been killed in an Israeli airstrike at Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis, I feel compelled to share what I’ve learned after years of observing him and others in Gaza’s media scene. Esliah wasn’t just a journalist with a camera. He was a fixture on the front lines, always there when rockets were fired, when terrorists launched incendiary-laden balloons towards Israel and, of course, the October 7 massacre. What struck me most over the years wasn’t just his proximity to the action, it was the consistency with which he appeared at scenes that seemed orchestrated, not stumbled upon. He moved with a kind of access that ordinary journalists did not have. He wasn’t guessing where the story was. He knew. It was back in 2018 when I realized that Esliah was more than just a journalist. Hamas was increasingly relying on members of the press in Gaza to document acts of violence carried out by its operatives near the border with Israel. But there was a catch, these events had to appear as spontaneous popular unrest, not as coordinated actions by terrorist groups. The media’s role wasn’t just to report the story; it was to shape the narrative that Hamas wanted. Thus, Esliah and other journalists routinely accompanied terrorists and documented their acts to publish online for Israel to see. This was an orchestrated propaganda campaign by terrorist groups and Esliah was heavily involved. With Esliah's death, many will remember him as a journalist who died in a war zone. But those of us who’ve paid attention know that his story and that of other journalists in Gaza is far more complicated. Keep tabs on my posts. In the near future, I will publish interesting information about the dual roles some people play in Gaza and their connection to terrorist groups.
