Donald Trump has appointed former prime minister Sir Tony Blair to his newly established "Board of Peace" for Gaza. The White House published the list of board members on Friday.
The "founding executive board" aims to prevent future conflict in the Gaza territory and lead long-term peace efforts in the Middle East. Alongside Blair, the board includes US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, special envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff, and Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner.
Blair Accepts Appointment
Blair expressed gratitude for the appointment. "I thank President Trump for his leadership in establishing the Board of Peace and am honoured to be appointed to its executive board," he said in a statement.
Collaboration and Vision
The former prime minister highlighted his previous work with key members of the initiative. "It's been a real privilege to work with Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner and their outstanding team," Blair stated. He added: "I look forward to working with them and other colleagues in line with the president's vision to promote peace and prosperity."
Blair praised Trump's 20-point plan for Gaza as an "extraordinary achievement." He acknowledged the challenges ahead, noting the implementation would require "enormous commitment and hard work."
