Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair will no longer be part of the "Peace Council" for Gaza, which will be led by Donald Trump.

His withdrawal was determined by the opposition of several Arab and Muslim countries, which view Tony Blair's involvement with skepticism, especially due to his role in the 2003 Iraq invasion. Although Blair has been mentioned as a possible prominent figure in peace plans, criticisms of his track record in mediating conflicts in the Middle East have been significant. Donald Trump acknowledged the controversy surrounding Blair, stating that he wants to ensure that he is an acceptable choice for everyone. Although Tony Blair will not have a central role, sources suggest that he could play a less visible role.
