Overview

• Multiple outlets report Blair offered to head the proposed Gaza International Transitional Authority after presenting plans to President Trump last month.
• US figures Jared Kushner and envoy Steve Witkoff are said to back the plan, and Witkoff briefed Arab and Muslim leaders at the UN on a 21-point framework.
• The draft outlines a secretariat of up to 25 and a seven-member board, initial operations from Egypt’s el-Arish, Gulf financing, and a UN-backed multinational force largely from Arab states.
• The concept foresees eventual coordination with and transfer to the Palestinian Authority, though the handover conditions and timetable remain unsettled.
• Israeli officials have not rejected the idea, according to reporting, with further discussions expected at a Netanyahu–Trump meeting, while questions over UN authorization and Blair’s legitimacy with Palestinians persist.
