Former UK prime minister Sir Tony Blair is set to be part of an interim authority in Gaza, according to Donald Trump’s peace plan.

The US President’s 20-point plan was revealed as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu threw his support behind it at a press conference on Monday.

Mr Trump stated that they are “beyond very close” to a peace agreement and that this day is “potentially one of the great days ever in civilisation”.

The plan states that, if both sides agree, there will be an immediate ceasefire, the withdrawal of Israeli forces to “the agreed upon line”, and the release of all the hostages, followed by the release of Palestinian prisoners and a surge of aid into Gaza.
