Newsmax turned on President Donald Trump over his decision to accept a $400 million luxury plane from Qatar's royal family to be used as Air Force One.
"I really don't like this, I gotta say. It makes me really uncomfortable, and it's not just that," Batya Ungar-Sargon, a journalist who appeared as a guest during a Newsmax segment on Monday, said. "You know this is not a gift. This is Qatar, a state sponsor of terror that has Hamas in the palm of its hand giving a bribe," she continued.
Newsmax anchor Katrina Szish agreed with Ungar-Sargon, saying, "I'm with you on this."
While Ungar-Sargon added that she doesn't believe the president would yield to Qatari interests, she acknowledged that it does appear to be a conflict of interest.

She then wondered why Qatar is "suddenly a major player in terms of controlling the scene," referring to Israel's ongoing war on Gaza and the recent release of Edan Alexander, an American citizen who volunteered with the Israeli Defense Forces and was kidnapped by Hamas on Oct. 7, 2023.
"Hamas is celebrating. They see this as the first agreement with the United States, and it just, it turns my stomach you guys," she added, to which Szish responded, "I don't disagree."
