Today, Democratic Majority for Israel made the following statement:
“It’s appalling that President Trump wants to accept a $400 million luxury airplane as a ‘gift’ from Qatar, a country with close ties to Iran and a financier of Hamas. Not only does this highly unethical ‘gift’ jeopardize national security, it sends a very loud message that the United States’ foreign policy is for sale to the highest bidders. It’s even more shocking that this agreement was approved by Attorney General Pam Bondi, who herself was a lobbyist for Qatar, earning $115,000 per month. It’s certainly worth asking what Qatar is getting in return.
“The United States must show strong, ethical and moral leadership in the Middle East and throughout the world. This agreement is completely counter to that. It’s an outrageous breach of our national security that cannot be allowed.”
