US EditionTony Blair to oversee Gaza's future as part of Trump's 'greatest and most prestigious' Board of Peace
The Board of Peace, led by Trump and including Tony Blair and Marco Rubio, will oversee Gaza's governance, reconstruction, and demilitarisation under phase two of the US peace plan.
- On Friday, the White House unveiled a 'Board of Peace' chaired by President Donald Trump, including Sir Tony Blair, Marco Rubio, and Jared Kushner; He wrote, `I can say with certainty that it is the Greatest and Most Prestigious Board ever assembled at any time, any place`.
- After the ceasefire, the US peace plan moved into Phase Two focused on reconstruction, following Phase One’s ceasefire, hostage-prisoner exchange, partial Israeli withdrawal, and aid surge for Gaza Strip and its 2.1 million residents.
- On the ground, a 15-member technocratic committee led by Ali Shaath will manage day-to-day operations, Nickolay Mladenov will serve as High Representative linking the Board and NCAG, and Major General Jasper Jeffers will command the International Stabilisation Force.
- The United States pledged to support the Board of Peace, which will oversee Gaza's transition and ensure Hamas complies with obligations or face serious consequences.
- Blair's appointment has prompted controversy because of his Iraq-era record, analysts say the board's powers remain unclear, and the ceasefire is fragile with almost 450 Palestinians killed since it began.
