The White House is backing a plan that would see Tony Blair head a temporary administration of the Gaza Strip – initially without the direct involvement of the Palestinian Authority (PA), according to Israeli media reports.

Under the proposal, Blair would lead a body called the Gaza International Transitional Authority (Gita) that would have a mandate to be Gaza’s “supreme political and legal authority” for as long as five years.

I am not sure whether it will be Trump’s so called Board of Peace or the GITA that will have overall authority but they could have found the perfect git to run the latter. I was never a fan of the smarmy Blair and he made a fatal error when he became Bush’s poodle. Trump may have found the ideal candidate to do his bidding.
