The former U.K. prime minister reportedly faced criticism for his 2003 support for the invasion of Iraq and is expected to instead serve on the board’s executive committee with Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff
Former U.K. Prime Minister Tony Blair is no longer under consideration to join the so-called Board of Peace intended to supervise a transitional government in Gaza under U.S. President Donald Trump’s 20-point Middle East peace plan, the Financial Times reported on Monday.
Blair was the only person listed by name in the peace plan as a potential member of the board consisting of “other members and heads of state,” with Trump as its chairman.
Under point nine of the plan, the board will have “oversight and supervision” over the “temporary transitional governance of a technocratic, apolitical Palestinian committee” intended to govern Gaza “until such time as the Palestinian Authority has completed its reform program.”
