Saralnama20 years after leading the UK into the Iraq War, Tony Blair is now involved in discussions about running a transitional authority in Gaza. The former Prime Minister has been in high-level talks with all parties to end the war and plan Gaza's future. The proposal, discussed by US President Trump and Arab leaders at the UN, suggests a UN-backed transitional body with Gulf support to govern Gaza before returning it to Palestinian control. Blair's office stated he would not support displacing Gazans. This comes as the UK and other nations formally recognized Palestine as a state, while Israel and the US criticized the move. The Gaza conflict, which began, has resulted in over 65,000 Palestinian deaths according to Gaza's health ministry. (Updated 26 Sep 2025, 12:02 IST; source: link)
