Overview

• President Trump positioned Blair on a proposed international "Board of Peace" to guide Gaza’s reconstruction and transitional governance after the war.
• Blair said the plan could end the fighting, deliver immediate relief to Gaza, ensure Israel’s security, and secure the release of all hostages.
• Reporting says the framework borrows from Blair’s 21-page blueprint, with a late change placing Trump in the chair role and Blair as a key member.
• Palestinian voices and regional analysts voiced strong skepticism, citing Blair’s association with the Iraq War and fears of an external viceroy-style arrangement.
• Observers compared elements of the proposal to Iraq’s Coalition Provisional Authority, warning about questions of legitimacy, feasibility, and potential to inflame tensions.
