Former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair will assume a larger managerial role on the US-led Board of Peace tasked with advancing a Gaza plan, according to a Times of Israel report. He will also take on responsibilities related to aid coordination and continue engagement with the Palestinian Authority on reforms.
According to a report from The Times of Israel, former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair is taking on a more prominent role in the US-led Board of Peace, the body established to advance a diplomatic framework for Gaza. The report says Blair will assume a more managerial role on the board while also handling responsibilities related to humanitarian aid and continuing his dialogue with the Palestinian Authority on governance reforms. The Board of Peace, as The Zioneer reported on June 11, has been advancing short-term initiatives in areas of Gaza not under Hamas control without awaiting a response from the militant group on disarmament — a key sticking point in broader ceasefire negotiations. Blair's expanded role signals a push to give the board more operational heft as diplomatic efforts on Gaza remain stalled. No further details on the timeline or scope of his new duties were reported.
