Tony Blair would help oversee Gaza transition under Trump plan

US President Donald Trump said he wanted to join the international organ that controls Gaza within the scope of an American plan to end the war of former United Kingdom Prime Minister Sir Tony Blair.

Sir Tony was the first name of a new “Peace Board” under the chairmanship of Trump, who was assigned to temporarily supervise Gaza’s governance if Hamas accepts the plan. “Leaders from other countries” will be named later on the board of directors, Tr Trump said.

The Board is a part of a 20-point plan aimed at ending the approximately two-year conflict between Israel and Hamas-including the process of demilitarization and redevelopment of Gazze.

Sir Tony, plans “two -year war, misery and suffering is the best chance,” he said.

A Palestinian source, familiar with cease -fire negotiations, said that the White House was given a 20 -point proposal to HAMAS officials.

Previously, a senior HAMAS official said that the group remained open to examining any suggestions that could end the war in Gaza, but that any agreement should protect Palestinian interests, that Israel should withdraw from Gaza and end the war.

Sir Tony, who was the Prime Minister of England from 1997 to 2007 and took England to the Iraq War in 2003, High -level talks About the future of the US and other parties with Gaza.

Speaking with BBC Breakfast, Health Secretary Wes Streeting said that considering the record of the Iraq War, the inclusion of Sir Tony would “remove some eyebrows”.

However, the streeting also emphasized the inseparable role Sir Tony’s intermediary role. 1998 good Friday agreement To end the problems of Northern Ireland.

“If he can bring these important skills there in both diplomacy and state craft,” Streeting BBC said to the BBC, “This can only be a good thing”.

After leaving the post, he served as the Middle East ambassador for the quartet of the International Powers (USA, EU, Russia and the UN). He focused on bringing economic development to Palestine and creating conditions for two state solutions.

In August, Trump attended a White House meeting with Trump to discuss plans for the region, which the US Middle East ambassador Steve Witkoff described as “very comprehensive” – ​​but very little about the meeting.

Under the plan announced by Trump on Monday evening, the war would end immediately after accepting both sides.

In addition, 20 living Israeli hostages returned to more than two dozens of dozen, which was believed to be dead, within 72 hours.

Israel would later be detained by 250 lifetime prisoners since the war on October 7, 2023.

The plan says that “full help” will be sent to Gaza immediately. A multinational stability will be deployed to support security and educate local police. Israeli forces would be drawn at stages.

According to the plan text, “Gaza will be managed under the temporary transition management of a technocratic, apolitical Palestinian committee responsible for the daily execution of public services and municipalities for people in Gaza.

“This committee, including former Prime Minister Tony Blair, including President Donald J. Trump will be managed and president of a new international transition organ, by the ‘Peace Council’ will consist of qualified Palestinians and international experts.”

The plan states that Hamas will not have a role “directly, indirectly or in any way” in governance.

Trump said that if Hamas rejects the agreement, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will have “full support” to “do what you have to do”.

The plan also leaves the door open to a final Palestinian state, but only if the Palestinian authority makes comprehensive reforms.

The president was also hit by countries to recognize the Palestinian state “stupid” – In the UK– Australia, Canada and France did last week.

Responding to the announcement, Sir Tony said, “President Trump left a brave and smart plan that allows Gaza to end the war, a brighter and better chance for his people, and the absolute and lasting security of Israel and the release of all hostages.

“I offer us the best chance to end the two -year war, misery and pain, and I thank President Trump for his leadership, determination and devotion.

“In particular, the desire to preside the peace council to supervise the new Gaza is a signal of support and confidence in the future of Gaza, the possibility of finding a way for peace and the possibility of encouraging peace and prosperity between the extremes and global alliances of the Palestinians and the Palestinians.”

The plan, which was announced on Monday, points to a change from previous ideas by the Trump administration. Trump in February, the US Take on the Gaza Strip and Build a “Middle East Riviera”

The idea would include the forced displacement of the Palestinians in the region and violating international law, a step that Sir Tony’s office promised not to support the office.

The Israeli army launched a campaign in 2023, in response to the attack on Southern Israel, led by Hamas, about 1,200 people were killed in Gaza and 251 people were hostage.

According to the Ministry of Health, operated by Hamas of the region, at least 66,055 people have died in Israeli attacks in Gaza since then.

A UN -backed body has recently confirmed that scarcity was in Gaza City. At the beginning of this month, the UN Investigation Commission concluded that Israel was a genocide in Gaza, where Israel violently rejected.
