Former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair will not get a key role on Donald Trump’s Gaza ‘peace council’ after several Arab and Muslim nations reportedly objected to his inclusion, according to reports.

Blair has been quietly dropped from consideration for the proposed advisory group or ‘ board of peace ’, which Trump has said he would chair himself, according to The Financial Times (FT).

Blair was the only name publicly mentioned for a possible role on the council when President Trump announced his 20-point plan to end the Israel–Hamas war in September. President Trump had praised Blair as a ‘very good man.’

A month later, however, Trump said, “I’ve always liked Tony, but I want to find out that he’s an acceptable choice to everybody.”
