Ynet News reports:
During the year leading up to the U.S. presidential election, only 10% of lobbying efforts by agents working on behalf of Qatar were directed at conservative-leaning media. However, after Donald Trump’s victory, this focus shifted dramatically: over half of their outreach was aimed at outlets like Fox News, the New York Post, and the Daily Mail.
Qatar’s goal was clear—to promote favorable narratives about the emirate, known for its complex ties with Hamas and Iran, and position itself as a reliable partner in the eyes of Trump and his administration.
Numerous instances were documented where lobbying efforts targeting American journalists were promptly followed by the publication of highly favorable articles about Qatar—sometimes within just days. One of the most notable successes was an interview Tucker Carlson conducted with Qatar’s Prime Minister, Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani, which garnered over six million views within hours of its release.
Read the full article. Several highly-placed Trump officials, including Pam Bondi, were paid lobbyists for Qatar.
