BoP’s Blair meets Herzog, Netanyahu in Israel as US pushes to revive Gaza reconstruction plan
The former British prime minister, representing Trump’s Board of Peace, is expected to discuss a Palestinian technocratic committee and an international stabilization force for Gaza.
Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair met with Israeli President Isaac Herzog and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Israel on Thursday, as the United States pushes to revive its stalled plan to rebuild the Gaza Strip. Blair, a senior representative of US President Donald Trump's Board of Peace, is expected to meet with Herzog at the President's Residence in Jerusalem and also meet Yashar party leader Gadi Eisenkot on Friday.
The visit aims to advance the next stages of Trump's plan to end the war in Gaza, amid continued American pressure to move forward with the initiative, despite ongoing negotiations with Hamas and military operations by the IDF.
