Wes Streeting has admitted that Sir Tony Blair’s proposed role in the body that would oversee a transitional authority governing Gaza under a new peace intiative will “raise eyebrows to say the least”, amid calls for MPs to have the chance to scrutinise the appointment.
Donald Trump unveiled a 20-point peace plan on Monday, which has been accepted by Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and is being considered by Hamas. The US president said Sir Tony would be among the international leaders who would constitute a “Board of Peace” to oversee a transitional governing committee for Gaza.
