Qatar's Ali Al Thawadi, a minister without a specific department, was highlighted by Trump as a key figure in Middle East diplomatic efforts. He attended a 2023 Oval Office meeting where Netanyahu apologized to Qatar's prime minister and joined the Gaza Executive Board in January 2024, with analysts crediting him for advancing U.S.-Iran negotiations.
