Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held an unpublicized meeting with former UK prime minister Tony Blair in late November to discuss the Trump administration’s plans for the postwar management of Gaza, a source familiar with the matter tells The Times of Israel.
Blair has been working closely with US President Donald Trump’s top aide Jared Kushner to advance the transitional Palestinian governing body that will administer the Strip in place of Hamas.
The source flatly denies a Kan public broadcaster report claiming that Blair used the meeting to present a plan for the immediate, phased return of the Palestinian Authority to Gaza.
