Tony Blair Joins White House Gaza Talks as Insiders Say He Is Urging Trump Away From Extreme Plans

His attendance revived scrutiny of think‑tank links to relocation proposals, prompting UK calls for him to brief Parliament.

Overview

  • A senior White House official said Trump, Blair and Jared Kushner discussed a comprehensive Gaza plan covering hostages, expanded food aid deliveries and post‑war plans.
  • Blair notified No. 10 of his trip and attended in a personal capacity rather than on behalf of the UK government.
  • The Tony Blair Institute told CNN it has never authored or endorsed proposals to relocate Gazans, after reports that TBI staff engaged with an Israeli‑led “Great Trust” concept modeled with BCG.
  • Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey urged Blair to give evidence to Parliament about what he learned in the White House talks.
  • Palestinian representatives and analysts said Blair’s involvement is unlikely to ease regional distrust, noting the lack of heavyweight Arab representation at the meeting.
