Blair calls for new approach on visit to Gaza
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleMideast envoy Tony Blair says the world has forsaken the Gaza Strip and calls for a new approach while visiting the Palestinian territory Sunday.
Blair calls for Hamas, which controls Gaza, to clarify if it is part of a “broader Islamist movement with regional designs” or if it would accept a long-term peace alongside Israel.
He also called for a “radical change of approach” from Israel to lift trade restrictions on Gaza.
He calls the stagnation in reconstruction a “crime.”
