Plan for Gaza

Blair arrived in Israel for a series of meetings with senior officials devoted to the next stages of Trump's plan to end the war in the Gaza Strip. The visit comes amid pressure from Washington to advance the initiative, while negotiations with Hamas have long been at a deadlock and the Israeli army continues operations in the Gaza Strip.

Blair is expected to discuss the possible start of work in Gaza by a Palestinian technocratic committee and the deployment of international stabilization forces. The proposed National Committee for the Administration of Gaza would be responsible for civilian administration and restoring basic services, while international forces would help establish security mechanisms during the transition period.
