Published: 9/30/2025

Sir Tony Blair, a trusted figure in Middle East diplomacy, may play a pivotal role in governing Gaza under Trump's proposed peace plan. However, Blair's involvement is met with skepticism due to his tainted legacy from the Iraq invasion and criticisms from Palestinian factions like Hamas.

Critics question his effectiveness in promoting Palestinian statehood and addressing key issues like settlements and violence.
