flag Tony Blair leads a U.S.-backed UN plan for a 5-year interim Gaza administration to ensure stability and reconstruction post-war.

flag Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair is leading a U.S.-backed proposal to establish a UN-backed interim administration in Gaza, the Gaza International Transitional Authority (GITA), to govern the territory for up to five years after the war with Hamas. flag The plan, modeled on transitions in Kosovo and East Timor, aims to provide stability through a multinational, mostly Arab UN-approved force, with Blair heading a seven-member board and overseeing humanitarian aid, reconstruction, and security. flag It envisions eventual transfer of power to the Palestinian Authority (PA), though a clear timeline remains unspecified, raising concerns among Arab and Palestinian leaders. flag The initiative, supported by former U.S. President Donald Trump and regional figures, seeks to avoid displacement and prevent Hamas’s return, but faces scrutiny over Blair’s controversial past, the role of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, and the lack of a defined path to Palestinian statehood.
