Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair is negotiating a role in leading a transition authority in Gaza Strip, in the context of discussions for a ceasefire.

Tony Blair participates in international discussions to take over the leadership of a transitional authority in Gaza, following a ceasefire, according to sources from the British press. The proposal, supported by the Trump administration, aims for a transitional body backed by the UN and Gulf states, before coming under Palestinian control. Although Blair has had meetings with international leaders, including Trump, there is opposition from European and Arab states, which prefer a Palestinian technocratic leadership.
