So, the gift of a Qatari plane and the new Qatari military presence in Idaho, and Kushner's deal to develop real estate in Qatar, none of these had nothing to do with the ceasefire?

I think the radical right knows it couldn't pass appropriations, so now it requires a continuing resolution, and they only know
