Tony Blair, the most unflushable participant in British politics, has floated to the surface yet again – this time as part of a plan to install himself as viceroy of the Gaza strip. A plan to make Blair the head of a post-Hamas government in Gaza is said to have widespread diplomatic backing…
The plan was hatched by his omnipresent Tony Blair Institute. Revealed overnight by Israeli newspaper Haaretz, the document is said to propose: “a multilayered, hierarchical structure in which senior international diplomats and businesspeople are on top and the Palestinians running things on the ground are at the bottom… the Gaza International Transitional Authority will be run by an international board. Its chairman will be Gaza’s top political executive, but he will work “in close consultation” with the Palestinian Authority. As Haaretz has previously reported, Blair himself is slated to hold this position, according to an Israeli government source.”
Details of Blair’s consultancy fee for taking such a role is yet to be uncovered. Is life not bad enough in Gaza already?
