Tony Blair advises Trump on Gaza reconstruction post-war.

Sir Tony Blair briefed Donald Trump on plans to rebuild Gaza after the war ends. The former Prime Minister discussed the Middle East peace process with the US President and Jared Kushner at the White House. They talked about rebuilding Gaza post-conflict and future governance without Hamas. They also addressed increasing food aid and freeing hostages held by Hamas.

The meeting was disclosed by Mr. Trump's Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff in an interview with Fox News. Witkoff mentioned a comprehensive plan being developed for the aftermath of the conflict, emphasizing President Trump's humanitarian intentions. He expressed confidence in ending the war within four months, pledging resolution by the end of the year.

The White House stated President Trump's desire for peace and prosperity in the region, aiming to end the war in Gaza. Sir Tony Blair's involvement follows Trump's vision of transforming Gaza into a trade hub and resort area, potentially relocating Palestinian citizens. Discussions encompassed various aspects of the Gaza conflict, including plans for increased humanitarian aid.

Reports indicate Sir Tony met with Mr. Witkoff in Washington DC and briefed Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas on post-war strategies. Previously engaged in Gaza's development during Joe Biden's presidency, Blair's recent meeting with Trump echoes his prior role as a Middle East peace envoy. His spokesperson declined to comment on the latest meeting.
